15 American soldiers injured in Iranian attack on base in Saudi Arabia
According to the latest information from the Associated Press, the number of injured American soldiers from Iranian attacks on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia has risen to 15.
Iran launched six ballistic missiles and 29 drones at the base in a Friday attack that injured at least 15 soldiers, including five seriously, according to AP sources.
What does it mean if a missile launch from Yemen toward Israel is confirmed?
The Israeli military announced that it detected a missile launched from Yemen—something that would mark the first attack of this kind since the start of the month-long war between the United States and Israel against Iran.
So far, the Houthis have not claimed responsibility, but the report comes just hours after Yemeni rebels warned they are ready to intervene militarily if other countries join the war or if the Red Sea is used for attacks against their ally.
This warning increases the risk of a broader regional conflict, given the Houthis’ ability to strike targets beyond Yemen’s borders, including oil facilities and critical infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, as well as disrupt shipping routes around the Arabian Gulf.
Unlike Hezbollah in Lebanon and armed groups in Iraq, the Houthis have not made an official announcement about joining the war.
Relentless Israeli attacks in Lebanon push the population to its limits
Four weeks after the start of the war between Israel and the United States against Iran, millions of Lebanese civilians are suffering, facing the second large-scale Israeli assault on their country in less than two years.
Mass evacuation orders issued by Israel for southern Lebanon and the southern suburbs of Beirut, Dahieh, have left about a quarter of the country’s population displaced.
Even those who have not been displaced are experiencing the pressure from deadly Israeli strikes, with no sign that the conflict will end soon.
For the first time, Israel announces missile launch from Yemen toward its territory
The Israeli armed forces announced shortly after 06:00 (Greece time) that they detected a missile launch from Yemen toward Israeli territory, for the first time in the month-long war in the Middle East, after Houthi rebels again threatened yesterday to become involved in the armed conflict on Iran’s side.
According to brief statements, they detected “the launch of a missile from Yemen toward the territory of the State of Israel” and added that “air defense systems are operating to intercept the threat,” before giving the all-clear for residents to leave shelters about fifteen minutes later.
