After two days of Israeli airstrikes in Yemen, the Houthis have responded with threats and reports of severe damage. According to Khaled al-Shaif, Director General of Sanaa International Airport, which was directly hit in the strikes, the economic damage is estimated at roughly half a billion dollars. \u201cThe terminals were destroyed, all the equipment and devices were wiped out, and we lost three aircraft\u2014only one remains, and it\u2019s outside of Yemen,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n

He added that all flights have been canceled until further notice and noted that the reconstruction will take \u201ca long time.\u201d The strike, carried out after a Houthi missile was launched toward Ben Gurion Airport, targeted weapons depots and military installations, but also reportedly caused extensive damage to civilian infrastructure, according to local sources.<\/p>\n

Houthis threaten: \u201cShelters won\u2019t help you\u201d<\/strong>
\nAlongside reports of damage, senior Houthi official Hazem al-Asad renewed his threats against Israel\u2014this time in Hebrew. \u201cDoes the Zionist entity have enough shelters?\u201d he asked in a public threat. \u201cThe coming days will bring surprises.\u201d
\nThe Houthis stressed that they \u201cwill not abandon Gaza\u201d and insisted that Israeli strikes would not deter them from continuing to launch attacks.<\/p>\n

While Yemen burns, Lebanon and Gaza also remain active fronts. According to Lebanese media reports, the IDF eliminated Hamas operative Khaled Ahmad al-Ahmad in a vehicle strike near the city of Sidon.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian sources reported fatalities from IDF airstrikes last night in the Al-Bureij refugee camp.<\/p>\n

Cairo and Doha declare unity amid the crisis<\/strong>
\nAmid the ongoing political tension, Egypt and Qatar issued a joint statement stressing that they are \u201coperating on a unified diplomatic front\u201d to bring about a ceasefire and humanitarian aid to Gaza. Both countries affirmed their continued commitment to mediation efforts and denied any disruption to their cooperation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAttempts to sow division will not deter us,\u201d the statement read. \u201cWe are working in close coordination with the United States to reach an agreement that will end the war and protect civilians.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the background: renewed focus on the hostages<\/strong>
\nAt the same time, attention remains on the fate of the hostages. Trump stated last night that only 21 of them are still alive\u2014contradicting the official figure given by Gal Hirsch, Coordinator for the Hostages and the Missing, who reported that 24 out of 59 are confirmed alive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
