Houthis reinforce Yemen frontlines near Hodeidah
The time is now 9:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Iranian Retaliation, Iran will pursue a legal complaint against Israel and the United States for the assassination of former supreme leader Ali Khamenei, the Iranian government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani told reporters on Sunday during the second day of Khamenei's funeral. The process of filing a complaint after collecting evidence and documentation has begun and is being followed up, she said, according to a report by Iran's Mizan News Agency. The Presidential Legal Office, in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is seriously following up on this case, she added. Mohajerani also said that Khamenei's instructions weren't fully followed while he was alive, and blamed this on the current state of Iran, adding that now our most important task is to accurately implement his guidelines and policies. Khamenei was killed back in February, during the opening strikes of Operation Roaring Lion, while his son and the current leader of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, was wounded during the attack. The second day of Khamenei's funeral opened on Sunday, with Iranians being heard chanting "kill Trump, kill Bibi" in videos shared by Iranian outlets.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Iranian-backed Houthis have been reinforcing frontlines in Yemen and preparing possible offensives over the last month. This has now manifested in several incidents over the last 96 hours that may be part of a pattern. The main information on the Houthis’ activities comes from Al-Ain News in the UAE, which has good security sources in Yemen. As a UAE-based source, Al-Ain opposes the Houthis and is sympathetic to the UAE and to some extent to Saudi Arabia’s views of Yemen. A military official of the Yemeni government told Al-Ain that the Houthis had launched an attack on a front in the Hodeidah Governorate. This is a key coastal area. Dozens of members of the National Resistance and Houthi militias were killed and wounded on Saturday in the fiercest battles between the two sides in the southern countryside of Hodeidah Governorate, western Yemen, the report said. The clashes erupted after the Houthi militias brought in their largest reinforcements to the Dabbas Mountains and south of Al-Jarahi and tried to advance to seize strategic positions overlooking the city of Hays, south of Hodeidah on the Red Sea. The Houthi attack was the most intense of its kind, as the militias att...
Previously unpublished Hamas documents released by Army Radio shed new light on the terror group's coordination with Hezbollah in the years leading up to the October 7 massacre, including appeals for the Lebanese terror group to join the attack and details of joint planning with Iran. The documents’ release follows a mid-June report from The Jerusalem Post on secret Hamas internal documents showing the progression of Hamas’s secret plans from 2022 to 2023 to systematically deceive Israel into complacency so as to surprise the IDF during the October 7 massacre. Additionally shown in the documents is Hezbollah’s false promise to join Hamas in its attack on Israel on October 7 due to its fear of Israel’s retaliation, as the Post has previously reported. In 2019, Hamas had already begun to seriously accelerate “the plan to defeat the Gaza Division.” According to the published documents, Ismail Haniyeh, the former top leader of Hamas's political bureau, had written to former Hezbollah head Hassan Nasrallah saying that his brothers and family in Palestine are confident that you will not disappoint them in their campaign against their enemy, and that you will always be a hel...
