Tel Aviv witnessed powerful scenes as families of Israeli hostages and victims of the October 7 attack addressed a press conference, calling for urgent action to secure a Gaza truce deal and the safe return of captives.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed striking deep inside Yemen, targeting a Houthi-controlled energy infrastructure site in the capital Sanaa. The long-range strike, conducted from nearly 2,000 kilometers away, was described as a direct response to repeated Houthi attacks on Israel, including missile and UAV launches aimed at Israeli territory. The IDF accused the Houthis of operating as an Iranian proxy, exploiting shipping lanes and global trade routes to conduct hostile operations. Military officials stressed that Israel will continue to act decisively against threats “wherever required,” signaling further escalation if attacks persist. This marks one of the deepest IDF strikes in recent years, highlighting Israel’s expanding reach against Iranian-backed groups beyond its immediate borders. The strike underscores growing regional tensions as Israel seeks to deter attacks from Yemen while maintaining pressure on Tehran and its allies.
