Friday's missile is the second by the Houthi group since Israeli warplanes bombed the Yemeni capital of Sanaa on Sunday. including its airport, killing seven victims and injuring nearly 100, according to the group. Israeli media said the Houthi group launched 28 ballistic missiles and dozens of drones at Israel since March 18, when Israel resumed its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip. Since November 2023, the Houthis have launched repeated attacks on Israel and Red Sea shipping in solidarity with Palestinians amid the Gaza war.

Trump Decides to Cut off Contact with Netanyahu
Taarek Refaat Israeli Army Radio confirmed, citing sources close to US President Donald Trump, that the US President has decided to cut off contact with Netanyahu. It is worth noting that Hebrew media outlets, citing sources close to US President Donald Trump, reported that he is "disappointed" with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and intends to take "steps" in the Middle East "without waiting for him." Since the beginning of his new presidential term, Trump has offered diverse and unlimited support to the Netanyahu government, which has been waging a genocidal war against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip since October 7. However, the newspaper Israel Hayom quoted unnamed sources on Thursday as saying that "there is a decline in personal relations and mutual disappointment between Netanyahu and Trump." The sources did not explain the reasons for this disappointment, especially since Trump was keen to receive Netanyahu, who is wanted by international justice, at the White House. The newspaper added that two senior sources close to Trump said, in closed-door conversations in recent days, that he had decided not to wait for Israel any longer and was moving forward with steps in the Middle East without "waiting for Netanyahu." The sources did not elaborate on the nature of the steps Trump intends to take unilaterally, but there is a complaint in Tel Aviv that Trump sometimes acts without coordination with Israel. The most recent example of this is the ceasefire agreement reached between the United States and the Yemeni Houthi group, which does not include Israel and which Israel was unaware of before its announcement. Trump said he respects the Houthi group's promises to end attacks on ships in the Red Sea, adding that the Houthis had suffered heavy blows but had endured and shown great courage, as he put it. Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdul Salam said that the agreement between Sana'a and Washington stipulates a cessation of US aggression against Yemen in exchange for an end to the targeting of US and commercial vessels in the Red Sea, with the exception of Israeli vessels. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
