Spain Blocks US Military From Transferring Arms To Israel Through Its Bases
Spain has continued to be a leading EU nation in ramping up the diplomatic pressure on Israel, and seeking to isolate it. It's government this week has moved to prohibit US military planes and ships from using its territory to transfer weapons and equipment to Israel.
As reported by leading newspaper El País on Monday, the new decision applies specifically to the Rota naval base and the Morón air base, both located in the southwestern part of the country - long used as key Mediterranean region transfer hubs.

There has long existed routine coordination between Spanish and American military officials, however, the relationship is becoming increasingly tense, given the move reflects a serious political divergence amid the ongoing war in Gaza.

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.

A Sunday statement said Israeli forces "struck... deep inside Yemen, targeting an energy inf...

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...
