Yemeni state TV has officially confirmed the death of Prime Minister Ahmed Al-Rahawi, declaring him a “martyr” after an Israeli airstrike on Sana’a. The presidency of Yemen’s Houthi-led government said the prime minister and several ministers were killed during a routine government workshop on August 28. For days, Houthis had denied Israeli claims of assassinating Al-Rahawi, accusing Tel Aviv of targeting only civilians. The announcement comes after weeks of escalating Israeli strikes on Yemen, launched in response to Houthi missile and drone attacks against Israel and Western ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. Thursday’s deadly attack followed earlier Israeli bombardments that killed 10 people and injured over 90. Despite the assassination, the Houthis vowed to continue military operations in solidarity with Palestinians and Hamas in Gaza, warning that Israel’s aggression will not deter their campaign.

Hamas has issued a chilling warning that Israeli troops will be killed or captured if Israel pushes deeper into Gaza City. Abu Obeida, the spokesperson of Hamas’s al-Qassam Brigades, declared that occupying Gaza City would “cost the enemy in the blood of its soldiers” and increase the number of captives. Hours later, Hamas fighters ambushed Israeli forces in Gaza’s Zaytoun neighborhood, killing at least one soldier, wounding nine, and reportedly capturing four. The Israeli military confirmed it has begun the “initial stages” of occupying Gaza City, declaring it a combat zone. Experts call the ambush a major setback for Israel’s military campaign, as heavy clashes rage and helicopters evacuate wounded troops. Since October 7, Israel’s war has killed over 63,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children. The UN warns that seizing Gaza City could displace nearly one million civilians, further deepening the humanitarian catastrophe.

Hamas has launched a fresh operation against Israeli forces inside the Gaza Strip, delivering another deadly blow to the Israeli army. According to reports, at least one Israeli soldier was killed and 11 others wounded in a sudden ambush-style attack. The group described the strike as part of its ongoing resistance against what it calls the “occupation regime.” Fighting between Israel and Hamas has continued despite months of heavy bombardments, ground incursions, and international calls for a ceasefire. The latest operation highlights Hamas’s ability to regroup and carry out targeted strikes even under extreme military pressure from Israel. With mounting casualties on both sides, the conflict shows no sign of slowing, raising fears of an even bloodier escalation. The incident once again underscores the volatility of Gaza, where battles continue to redefine the shifting balance of power in the region.

Yemen’s top general, Mohammed al-Ghamari, appeared on TV to deny Israel’s claims of his assassination, calling them “false propaganda.” He vowed Yemen will continue missile and drone attacks on Israel until it ends operations in Gaza. The announcement follows heavy Israeli airstrikes on Sanaa, which killed civilians and hit infrastructure. Israel now faces a widening two-front war against Hamas in Gaza and the Houthis in Yemen, straining its military resources and exposing vulnerabilities as its regional conflict escalates.

In a major blow to Israel’s military campaign, the IDF was forced to withdraw after four hours of intense combat in Gaza City. Hamas fighters repelled Israeli helicopters, tanks, and heavy shelling using guerrilla tactics and close-quarters combat. The clash left 12 Israeli casualties, including one dead soldier, while the fate of four missing troops remains uncertain. With fierce resistance in Al-Sabra and Khan Younis, Gaza City has become a deadly stronghold for Hamas. Despite mounting losses, Prime Minister Netanyahu remains determined to press forward.
