FOUR Houthi Missile Strikes in 24 Hours Shake Israel; Iron Dome Fails to Stop ‘Palestine-2’ Barrage? [Video]

FOUR Houthi Missile Strikes in 24 Hours Shake Israel; Iron Dome Fails to Stop ‘Palestine-2’ Barrage?

Israel faced a dramatic escalation as Yemen’s Houthi rebels launched four ballistic missile attacks within 24 hours, targeting key military sites and population centers. Among the weapons used was the "Palestine-2" hypersonic missile, which reportedly struck near Tel Aviv, triggering widespread air raid sirens and panic. Though the Israeli Defense Forces claim successful interceptions, missile debris injured civilians and landed as far as a kindergarten. The Iron Dome's effectiveness is now under scrutiny as the Houthis vow more strikes and warn Muslim nations against remaining silent. Despite U.S. airstrikes in Yemen killing hundreds of militants, the Houthi barrage continues, threatening to widen the regional conflict. #HouthiMissileAttack #HouthisVsIsrael #IsraelUnderAttack #HouthiRebels #Palestine2Missile #IsraelStrikesHouthis #HouthisAttackIsrael #IsraelHouthiConflict #HouthiDroneStrike #MiddleEastTensions #YemenIsraelCrisis #IronDomeFailure #IsraelNewsUpdate #HouthiBallisticMissile #IDFResponse Also Read Immense Pressure From Families Of Hostages: Netanyahu Says Israel Has To Continue Fighting In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/immense-pressure-from-families-of-hostages-netanyahu-says-israel-has-to-continue-fighting-in-gaza-4128785.html?ref=DMDesc Israel Detains, Deports 2 Female UK MPs; Britain Calls It 'Unacceptable, Deeply Troubling' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-detains-deports-2-female-uk-mps-britain-calls-it-unacceptable-deeply-troubling-4116053.html?ref=DMDesc Explainer: How Israel’s Growing Entry Restrictions Are Blocking Doctors and Aid Workers from Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/explainer-how-israels-growing-entry-restrictions-are-blocking-doctors-and-aid-workers-from-gaza-4096773.html?ref=DMDesc

Waqf Amendment Bill: Necessary Reform for Transparency & Inclusivity | Strengthening India’s Future

The Waqf Amendment Bill, 2025, is a crucial reform that brings transparency, accountability, and inclusivity to the management of Waqf assets in India.

The Bill’s provisions include digitizing Waqf assets, providing public access, and including non-Muslim members in Waqf Boards to ensure broader representation. Despite protests and misinformation, the government’s goal is clear: to create a more efficient, transparent, and inclusive system that benefits all of India. #WaqfAmendment #IndiaReform #Transparency #Inclusivity #WaqfBill #ModiGovernment #Empowerment #IndianPolitics #WaqfReform #SocialJustice #Bharat #PublicGood #PasmandaMuslims #Corruption #LandReform #SecularIndia
