Houthi Missile Attack on Israeli Cities Caught on Camera—IDF Intercepts in Air | Sirens Wail Across! [Video]

Houthi Missile Attack on Israeli Cities Caught on Camera—IDF Intercepts in Air | Sirens Wail Across!

On July 10, 2025, a missile launched from Yemen by Iran-backed Houthi rebels was intercepted by Israel’s air defense systems. Sirens blared across Jerusalem, central Israel, and parts of the West Bank as civilians rushed to shelters in panic. The IDF confirmed the interception and has since carried out retaliatory airstrikes on Houthi launch sites. This strike is part of a growing wave of regional escalation, with missile threats now emerging from Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen. Houthis claim the attack was in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, where over 57,000 have reportedly been killed since the Israeli military campaign began in late 2023. With tensions mounting, the region stands on the brink of a broader war.

Turkey’s Big WARNING Against Israel Amid Attack On Houthis | BRICS Summit Boils Over Israel? [Video]

Turkey’s Big WARNING Against Israel Amid Attack On Houthis | BRICS Summit Boils Over Israel?

At the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio, Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan delivered a chilling warning: Israel’s unchecked aggression could spiral into global instability. Fidan accused Tel Aviv of reversing decades of development through its war in Gaza and said multilateral institutions are now facing a legitimacy crisis. He called on the international community to act before it’s too late. His warning came amid growing BRICS concerns over AI weaponization, global peace, and economic fairness. Fidan alleged that Israel has used artificial intelligence as a tool of warfare, fueling unrest from Gaza to Yemen. With over 57,000 dead in Gaza and rising tensions across Lebanon, Syria, and Iran, BRICS leaders are urging urgent reforms. The summit, already focused on AI governance and peacekeeping, now confronts the fallout of Israel’s regional ambitions and the West’s blind eye. #BRICS2025 #IsraelGazaWar #TurkeyWarning #HakanFidan #AIWarfare #GlobalCrisis #GazaGenocide #MiddleEastWar #BRICSSummit #ArtificialIntelligence #Multilateralism #GlobalSecurity #PalestineCrisis #IranRetaliation #USIsraelAlliance #GlobalSouth #Geopolitics #WarCrimes #AIWeapons #IsraelExpansionism ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.124~
