In a dramatic escalation, Iran-backed Houthi rebels have threatened to bomb Israel’s strategic Haifa port, days after announcing an air blockade on Ben Gurion Airport. The group has now declared a maritime blockade on Haifa, raising alarms over Israel’s northern security and Red Sea shipping routes. The move signals a broader regional push by the Houthis, intensifying Middle East tensions and drawing international attention to the growing threat from Yemen-based fighters.

Israel intensifies its military campaign in Gaza under Operation “Gideon’s Chariots,” launching simultaneous ground assaults in both the north and south. Airstrikes overnight have killed over 100 people, with Gaza’s last northern hospitals—like the Indonesian facility—now shut down, triggering a dire medical crisis. While Israel allows limited food aid to prevent mass hunger, its strategy seeks to segment Gaza and isolate Hamas fighters. As ceasefire talks resume in Qatar, Israel insists on hostage release and Hamas disarmament, while Hamas refuses to negotiate under fire, warning escalation won’t bring peace or freedom for captives. Mediators from the U.S., Qatar, and Egypt race to salvage dialogue amid deepening violence.
