Trump delivered his strongest condemnation yet of Hezbollah, declaring that the Iran-backed group has been "crippled" following last year’s deadly conflict with Israel. Citing the loss of key Hezbollah leaders and the collapse of its vital arms pipeline due to the fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Trump stated that Lebanon now faces a “once-in-a-generation opportunity” to break free from the militant group’s grip.

The Israeli Defence Forces launched a heavy missile strike on the European Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, killing at least 28 people and causing massive destruction. Israel claims the target was a tunnel housing top Hamas operative Mohammed Sinwar, brother of Yahya Sinwar. Hamas denies operating near the hospital, calling the attack a strike on civilians. The strikes came just hours after Israel also hit Nasser Hospital, killing at least 18. Israel PM Netanyahu has vowed to eliminate Hamas with ‘full force’ in the coming days.

As President Trump visits Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, Yemen’s Houthi leaders issue a stark warning to Gulf states against aligning with Washington. Mohammed Ali al-Houthi called on Arab leaders to stand with Palestine and remember America's history of abandoning allies like the Shah of Iran. Despite a U.S.-mediated truce, Houthi leaders vow to continue retaliatory strikes in defense of Gaza. The UAE welcomes the Oman-brokered ceasefire for boosting regional trade, but tensions remain high with Israel striking Yemen following Houthi attacks. The group remains defiant and distrustful of U.S. promises.

The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) launched major attacks on Israeli and U.S. targets, including the USS Truman and Israel’s Ramon Airport, in retaliation for the war in Gaza. This comes after Donald Trump claimed the Houthis “begged” him not to strike. The YAF's bold military move, involving drones and ballistic missiles, defies that narrative. An American F-18 crashed during the operation, intensifying the crisis. YAF has vowed further strikes if U.S. aggression resumes. Yemen warns Israel that air and maritime movements will remain under fire until the Gaza siege ends.

Israel has launched airstrikes on Yemen’s key Hodeidah port after a Houthi missile exploded near Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport. The strikes, coordinated with the U.S., destroyed over 70% of the port’s infrastructure, killing one and injuring dozens. The port handles 80% of Yemen’s food imports, raising fears of a humanitarian crisis. Houthis responded by sealing the area, warning of further escalation. As Netanyahu vows more retaliation and Houthis pledge continued attacks over Gaza, a broader regional conflict now seems unavoidable.

Houthis launched a hypersonic ballistic missile targeting Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv. The powerful strike—part of what the Houthis call their "aerial blockade" of Israel—forced all flight operations to halt and sent terrified passengers scrambling for shelter on the tarmac. Air raid sirens blared across Tel Aviv, al-Quds (Jerusalem), and Netanya as Israeli defense systems scrambled to intercept the missile. While Israel claims the projectile was intercepted, the Houthis insist the mission was a success. The strike occurred just as U.S. President Donald Trump was delivering a speech in Saudi Arabia.

'Show us something special,' Trump says to Syria as he agrees to lift raft of sanctions
Gulf leaders have rallied behind the new government in Damascus and want Trump to follow, believing it is a bulwark against Iran's return to influence in Syria, where it had helped prop up the al-Assad regime during a decade-long civil war.

Israel has firmly rejected a proposed five-year ceasefire with Hamas, calling it a cover for the group to rearm. The Arab-mediated proposal, backed by Egypt and Qatar, reportedly included the release of Israeli hostages. But Israeli officials insist Hamas’ long-term intentions remain hostile. Hostage families criticized the government’s stance, calling it planless. With Israel resuming attacks on Gaza, the humanitarian crisis deepens. Over 51,000 Palestinians have died since October 7. As the war escalates, hopes for peace remain elusive amid growing international concern over Gaza’s worsening conditions.

Yemen's Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi declared the Bab al-Mandab Strait and Arabian Sea closed to Israeli and American ships. In a fiery speech, he said nine attacks targeted US naval assets in response to the Gaza war. Al-Houthi condemned Israel’s siege of Gaza, calling it genocide, and criticized Arab governments and media for their silence. He highlighted US-led attacks on Yemen, Israeli aggression in Syria and Lebanon, and urged greater Palestinian unity. The death toll in Gaza from the ongoing assault has crossed 51,000, with over 117,000 injured.
