In a bold and unprecedented move, Yemen's Houthi rebels launched a series of drone strikes on Israel’s major cities, Tel Aviv and Ashkelon, bypassing the much-vaunted Iron Dome defense system. Despite Israel’s claims of having one of the most advanced missile defense systems in the world, the drones successfully struck their targets, causing widespread damage and triggering alarms across the region. The attack marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict and highlights the vulnerability of Israel’s defense capabilities. The Houthi forces claimed responsibility for the assault, emphasizing their ability to Penetrate Israel’s security infrastructure.

Israel Vs Russia Face-off At UN: Iran Fumes As U.S Rejects Gaza Ceasefire Proposal

Tensions at the United Nations have escalated as Israel and Russia clashed over the ongoing Gaza conflict, with Iran strongly condemning the U.S. for rejecting a proposed ceasefire. The UN General Assembly has called for an immediate ceasefire to address the worsening humanitarian crisis, but the U.S. vetoed the measure, citing security concerns and ongoing threats from Hamas. Iran has accused the U.S. of enabling violence by siding with Israel. Meanwhile, Israel criticized the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), alleging that dozens of its 13,000 workers in Gaza participated in Hamas attacks, further complicating relations with the UN. These developments highlight deep divisions among global powers, leaving the path to resolving the Gaza conflict uncertain. #IsraelVsRussia #UNFaceOff #IranFumes #USRejectsCeasefire #GazaCeasefireProposal #UNRWAControversy #IsraelBlastsUNRWA #MiddleEastConflict #UNDebates #IsraelPalestine #RussiaVsIsrael #UNResolution #CeasefireDebate #GazaCrisis #DiplomaticTensions ~HT.178~PR.152~GR.124~
