In a major escalation of the Red Sea conflict, Israel has launched Operation ‘Black Flag,’ a powerful military campaign targeting key Houthi-controlled infrastructure in Yemen.
Israeli warplanes struck ports, power stations, and the seized vessel ‘Galaxy Leader,’ accusing the Houthi forces of using civilian infrastructure to funnel Iranian weapons and coordinate regional attacks.
Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that Yemen would now be treated like Tehran, promising continued strikes against any threat to Israeli security.
This marks one of Israel’s most aggressive operations beyond its borders in recent years.
Following the Israeli Air Force's (IAF) massive 'Operation Black Flag' air campaign across Yemen, a significant question has emerged: With global powers like Russia, China, and North Korea racing to deploy hypersonic missiles, why does Israel, a military powerhouse, continue to rely on conventional fighter jets? This report delves into the core of Israel's military doctrine to uncover the answer.
The analysis reveals that Israel's strategic decision is not a sign of weakness, but a calculated choice based on its unique geopolitical reality. The IAF's elite fleet, including advanced F-15, F-16, and F-35 fighter jets, offers unparalleled flexibility and precision for striking nearby threats in Gaza, Yemen, or Iran. Unlike hypersonic missiles, which are designed for targets thousands of kilometers away, jets allow for real-time target adjustments, significantly reducing collateral damage against groups like the Houthis. This adaptability was proven during the 2025 strikes on Iranian sites.

Just hours after launching the massive "Operation Black Flag" airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departs for Washington to meet with President Donald Trump.
In his statement before leaving, Netanyahu reaffirmed his mission: to crush Hamas, confront Iran and Hezbollah, bring all hostages home, and ensure Gaza will never again threaten Israel. This marks his third meeting with Trump since the 2024 elections — a critical moment for U.S.-Israel coordination as regional tensions boil over.
With fire raining on the Red Sea and new alliances forming, Netanyahu’s visit could reshape the Middle East — militarily and diplomatically.

In a dramatic escalation, the Israeli Air Force launched a precision night raid targeting the Houthi-controlled Galaxy Leader cargo ship — a vessel seized in 2023 and used as a propaganda symbol by Yemen’s Houthi forces. The IDF says the ship was repurposed for surveillance and terror coordination in the Red Sea, following the year-long captivity of 25 international crew members.
This strike was part of Israel’s broader retaliation campaign under "Operation Black Flag" against Houthi infrastructure. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that any tool used to threaten Israeli citizens would be eliminated — and this ship was no exception.
Footage shows the Galaxy Leader engulfed in flames as Israeli fighter jets dropped dozens of munitions across western Yemen, including ports and power stations. The Red Sea is now a live combat zone, and the message from Israel is clear: No more warnings.

Ceasefire hopes dim as the first round of indirect talks between Israel and Hamas ends inconclusively in Doha, Qatar. According to Palestinian sources, the Israeli delegation arrived without the authority to finalize a deal — casting serious doubt on Netanyahu’s commitment to ending the war. Meanwhile, Gaza remains under siege, with over 57,000 Palestinians killed, infrastructure destroyed, and hostages still held captive. As Netanyahu heads to Washington for a third meeting with President Trump, pressure mounts from both international mediators and citizens at home demanding action.
Is a deal still possible — or is peace slipping further away?

Yemen’s Houthis have resumed deadly attacks on Red Sea shipping lanes, using armed men and drone boats in a major escalation. A vessel traveling near Hodeida was struck Sunday by two drone boats, while others were destroyed by onboard security. Over 100 ships have been targeted since 2023, disrupting the $1 trillion trade route. The U.S. is monitoring the situation. The Houthi-run Al-Masirah outlet acknowledged the attack, but no group has claimed responsibility. Tensions are rising as missile launches and maritime violence continue across the region.

In a significant escalation, Yemen's Houthi rebels have claimed a major missile strike against Israel's primary international gateway, Ben Gurion Airport. Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree announced that a newly unveiled missile, named "Palestine-2," was launched towards Tel Aviv, alleging it successfully halted all air traffic and caused widespread panic. The group, officially known as Ansarallah, declared the attack was an act of solidarity with the Palestinian people and the armed resistance in Gaza, vowing that such strikes will persist until Israel's military offensive and blockade on the territory come to an end.
However, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have presented a conflicting account. According to Israeli military sources, the incoming missile was successfully tracked and intercepted by its advanced air defense systems. While air raid sirens were activated in several regions across Israel as a precautionary measure, the IDF maintains that the threat was neutralized before it could impact the airport's infrastructure or cause any casualties.
The incident has drawn a sharp response from Tel Aviv. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a stern warning to Yemen, threatening "dire consequences" similar to those faced by Tehran if the Houthi attacks continue. This latest strike is part of a sustained campaign by the Houthis, who have reportedly launched over 50 missiles and drones towards Israel since the conflict in Gaza intensified, repeatedly attempting to target critical Israeli infrastructure like Ben Gurion Airport.

srael’s Defense Minister Israel Katz has issued a chilling warning to Yemen’s Houthi rebels after a ballistic missile was intercepted by Israeli defenses late Tuesday. Katz declared, “Yemen will be treated like Tehran,” referencing recent joint Israeli-U.S. airstrikes on suspected nuclear sites in Iran. As air raid sirens rang out across central Israel and civilians scrambled for shelters, Katz warned: “Whoever raises a hand against Israel – that hand will be cut off.”
The intercepted missile, launched from Houthi-controlled Yemen, marks yet another escalation in the widening Middle East conflict. With Iran-backed militias in Lebanon, Iraq, and now Yemen intensifying attacks, analysts warn of a growing multi-front war. Will Israel carry out a preemptive strike on Yemen? Could U.S. bombers return to the skies?
Watch the full report for explosive details, regional analysis, and expert insights.

A shocking espionage scandal has rocked Israel as a married couple from Ra’anana in their 30s have been arrested for allegedly spying for Iran. Their arrest came after a covert investigation by Shin Bet and Israeli police, who confiscated phones, computers, and electronic devices reportedly containing communications with an Iranian handler.
But the story doesn’t stop there — three more Israeli citizens, including an 18-year-old from Tiberias, were arrested in separate operations for allegedly collaborating with Iranian operatives.
This follows a series of Iranian recruitment attempts and even a failed assassination plot targeting Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz.

Tensions in the Middle East are spiraling. Iran has denied launching the missile intercepted by Israel near Eilat, claiming it was fired by Yemen’s Houthi rebels. Meanwhile, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei warns Israel of severe punishment for what he called a “great crime” — referring to Israel and America’s recent strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites. The Houthis have issued direct threats against U.S. warships in the Red Sea, declaring full support for Tehran and vowing retaliation. With Iran’s next missile wave still pending under “Operation True Promise-3,” the region is bracing for a major escalation. Is a regional war now inevitable?
