In a dramatic overnight operation, Israeli warplanes struck six high-value Houthi targets across Yemen, including three strategic Red Sea ports, the Ras Kathib power plant, and the radar system aboard the seized Galaxy Leader cargo ship. The IDF claims the ship’s radar was used for maritime surveillance and missile coordination.
The strikes — completed in under an hour — mark one of Israel’s most significant escalations in the Red Sea conflict zone. Massive explosions were reported in Hodeidah, Ras Isa, and As-Salif as Israeli forces targeted what they say were key military supply routes and Iranian-linked infrastructure.
This comes amid rising tensions across the region and renewed Houthi missile launches toward Israeli territory. What does this mean for the wider Middle East conflict? Is a broader war looming in the Red Sea?

In a dramatic and unprecedented move, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved major airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen while flying to the United States aboard the “Wing of Zion” aircraft. According to the PM’s office, Netanyahu received critical operational updates and gave the final go-ahead for "Operation Black Flag" while en route to Washington for a high-stakes meeting with Donald Trump. The operation was launched in response to continuous missile attacks by the Iran-backed Houthis on Israel. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed that the strikes, involving 20 fighter jets, targeted key Houthi infrastructure, ports in Hudaydah, and the Galaxy Leader ship, which was seized by the Houthis in 2023. The coordinated attack is being described as a major blow to the Houthi rebels. The Houthis have responded swiftly and fiercely. While their media outlets confirmed the Israeli strikes, they retaliated by launching a massive wave of missiles towards Israel, triggering air defense systems across the country. In a claim that has created serious panic, RT News reported that at least one of the Houthi missiles successfully hit its target inside Israel.
This sudden escalation opens a dangerous new front in the Middle East, coming only weeks after a fragile ceasefire was established between Israel and Iran. With Israel now engaged in a direct, full-blown conflict with the Houthis in Yemen, the entire region is on high alert for what happens next.

Ceasefire hopes dim as the first round of indirect talks between Israel and Hamas ends inconclusively in Doha, Qatar. According to Palestinian sources, the Israeli delegation arrived without the authority to finalize a deal — casting serious doubt on Netanyahu’s commitment to ending the war. Meanwhile, Gaza remains under siege, with over 57,000 Palestinians killed, infrastructure destroyed, and hostages still held captive. As Netanyahu heads to Washington for a third meeting with President Trump, pressure mounts from both international mediators and citizens at home demanding action.
Is a deal still possible — or is peace slipping further away?

Following the Israeli Air Force's (IAF) massive 'Operation Black Flag' air campaign across Yemen, a significant question has emerged: With global powers like Russia, China, and North Korea racing to deploy hypersonic missiles, why does Israel, a military powerhouse, continue to rely on conventional fighter jets? This report delves into the core of Israel's military doctrine to uncover the answer.
The analysis reveals that Israel's strategic decision is not a sign of weakness, but a calculated choice based on its unique geopolitical reality. The IAF's elite fleet, including advanced F-15, F-16, and F-35 fighter jets, offers unparalleled flexibility and precision for striking nearby threats in Gaza, Yemen, or Iran. Unlike hypersonic missiles, which are designed for targets thousands of kilometers away, jets allow for real-time target adjustments, significantly reducing collateral damage against groups like the Houthis. This adaptability was proven during the 2025 strikes on Iranian sites.

Just hours after launching the massive "Operation Black Flag" airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departs for Washington to meet with President Donald Trump.
In his statement before leaving, Netanyahu reaffirmed his mission: to crush Hamas, confront Iran and Hezbollah, bring all hostages home, and ensure Gaza will never again threaten Israel. This marks his third meeting with Trump since the 2024 elections — a critical moment for U.S.-Israel coordination as regional tensions boil over.
With fire raining on the Red Sea and new alliances forming, Netanyahu’s visit could reshape the Middle East — militarily and diplomatically.
