Israel strikes Yemen's rebel-held Hodeida port
Israel said its forces struck Yemen's Hodeida port on Monday in the latest attack targeting Houthi rebels, with a security official from the Iran-backed group reporting a dock destroyed. Israel has carried out several air raids on Houthi-held areas of Yemen, including on Hodeida earlier this month, in response to repeated missile and drone attacks since the Gaza war began in October 2023. The rebels claim to act in solidarity with Palestinians. On Monday, the Israeli military "struck terror targets of the Houthi terror regime at the port of Hodeida and is forcefully enforcing the prevention of any attempt to restore the previously attacked terror infrastructure," Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a statement. "Yemen's fate will be the same as Tehran's," Katz added, in an apparent reference to the recent 12-day war between Israel and Iran in which Israel pummeled Iranian military and nuclear sites, as well as targets in the capital. The Houthis' Al-Masirah television reported "a series of Israeli air strikes on the Hodeida port". A Houthi security official, requesting anonymity to discuss sensitive matters, told AFP that "the bombing destroyed the port's dock, which had been rebuilt following previous strikes." An Israeli military statement said that the targets included "engineering vehicles... fuel containers, naval vessels used for military activities" against Israel and "additional terror infrastructure used by the Houthi terrorist regime". It said the port had been used to transfer weapons from Iran, which were then used by the Houthi rebels against Israel. The statement added that Israel had identified efforts by the Iran-backed rebels to "re-establish terrorist infrastructure at the port". The Houthis recently resumed deadly attacks in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, targeting ships they accuse of having links to Israel, to force Israel to end the Gaza war.

Lebanese army confronts Israeli forces over border violation in southern Lebanon
The Lebanese army said Sunday that Israeli military and engineering vehicles crossed the technical fence and began bulldozing land in the outskirts of Rmeish, in the Bint Jbeil district, in what it called a blatant violation of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701 and the ceasefire agreement. In a statement, the army said it responded by reinforcing its presence in the area opposite the Israeli forces. A patrol from the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) also arrived to document the breach, prompting the Israeli troops to retreat back across the border. The army added that it is closely monitoring the situation along the southern border in coordination with UNIFIL.
