Israel Bombs Power Plant Near Yemeni Capital After Houthi Ballistic Missile Launch
The Israeli navy launched strikes on a key power plant near Yemen's capital, Sanaa, on Sunday. The Israeli military claimed the facility was being used by Houthi forces but did not provide evidence.
The assault comes in the wake of the latest Houthi ballistic missile attack which targeted Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport, but which was reportedly intercepted and caused no damage or casualties.
Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV said the new Israeli assault caused damage to generators at the Hezyaz power station and triggered a fire, which was soon after successfully contained.

Israel Bombs Ports, Power Plant In Yemen After Month-Long Pause
On Sunday Israel's military launched airstrikes on three ports and a power facility against Houthi-controlled Yemen, resulting in the group launching a barrage of missiles in retaliation. Israel is calling the major new initiative 'Operation Black Flag'.
The Israeli military (IDF) announced it had targeted the Red Sea ports of Hodeidah, Ras Isa, and as-Salif, as well as the Ras Kathib power station. Additionally, it described striking a radar system aboard the Galaxy Leader, a ship previously seized by the Houthis and currently docked in Hodeidah.

This is the first escalation of its kind in nearly a month, and the IDF defended the action as necessary and warranted after intercepting a missile launched from Yemen earlier that day.
At least two more missiles were fired on Israel following the port strikes, with Houthi military spokesperson Yehyaa Saree later confirmed the la...

Israel Cuts Gaza Electricity Supply As Truce Falters
Is a new Israel Defense Forces (IDF) assault on the Gaza Strip imminent? Israel has on Sunday cut all electricity to the Strip, in a move which typically signals some kind of escalation in military operations.
Eli Cohen, Israel's energy minister announced in a video message that Israel would use "all means available … to ensure the return of all Israeli hostages" and to force Hamas out of Gaza.
"I just signed an order for the immediate halt of electricity to the Gaza Strip," Cohen confirmed. There had already long been lengthy blackouts throughout the Hamas-Israel war.
