🚨 HOUTHI ATTACKS ON ISRAEL: Earlier this morning, the Houthis fired a missile toward southern Israel for the first time since the start of the Iran war, and it was intercepted. A drone launched from Yemen toward Eilat was also intercepted a short time ago.
Houthi Armed Forces Spokesman Yahya Saree said: "We carried out our first military operation using ballistic missiles against sensitive Israeli military targets. Our operations will continue until the declared goals are achieved. We will continue until the aggression stops on all fronts."
🎦 IRANIAN INCIDENT IN EILAT Israeli fishermen documented the moment of an Iranian arrival in Eilat, located in southern Israel.
🔴 HOUTHI DECLARATION AND YEMEN RESPONSE: Last night, the Houthis (Ansarullah) officially announced their entry into the war on Iran’s side, citing attacks on infrastructure and civilian casualties as the reason.
Yahya Saree also said: "The American and Israeli enemy must respond to efforts to stop the aggression against Iran. We are ready to intervene if: The Red Sea is used to carry out operations against Iran, the escalation against Iran and the Axis of Resistance continues, other alliances join forces with the US and Israel against Iran and the Axis of Resistance".
🗣️ The Yemeni government said: “We condemn repeated attempts by the Iranian regime to drag Yemen and its people into senseless wars. The Houthis’ involvement in defending the Iranian regime reveals their link to Iran’s agenda and endangers our national security.”
‼️ IDF POSITION ON IRAN AND HOUTHIS; RESPONSE UNDER CONSIDERATION
An IDF official told the Israeli Broadcasting Authority that the Houthis are viewed as a distraction and will not divert Israeli operations, emphasizing that attacks against Iran will continue while Israel determines when and how to respond to the Houthis, who will “pay the price.”
According to Israeli Channel 13, the IDF is actively holding discussions on the decision to respond to Houthi attacks and the method of implementation.
🚨 IRANIAN ATTACK IMPACT IN ISRAEL: Earlier, Channel 12 reported that part of the Iranian missile was intercepted while another part fell in open areas in the Eilat region.
🕯️Channel 12 also reported last night that one person was killed and two injured following the Iranian missile attack on Greater Tel Aviv.
💥 STRIKES ON IRANIAN NUCLEAR INFRASTRUCTURE: A wave of Israeli-American airstrikes targeted Yazd, Tehran, and Bushehr. Iran said a uranium (yellowcake) plant in Yazd Province was targeted in a strike.
Israeli security sources said two major sites linked to Iran’s nuclear industry were targeted: the reactor in Arak and a yellowcake production facility in Yazd.
Following an evacuation warning, the Israeli Air Force bombed Iran's Arak heavy water reactor. Iranian Fars News Agency reported that the strikes caused no casualties and that, due to prior safety measures, there is no danger to local residents.
⚠️ IRAN THREATS OF RETALIATION: Iran warned it may strike steel plants in Israel and five other Gulf countries in retaliation for recent Israeli attacks on its steel plants, according to Tasnim News Agency.
A senior Iranian security official told Nour News: "Any U.S. ground attack would grant Iran the right and legitimacy to take similar action to repel the source of the threat".
