Tensions escalated after a Houthi missile struck near Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport, injuring six and disrupting air traffic. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed Iran-backed rebels and vowed a retaliatory response "at a time and place of our choosing." In response, Iranian Defence Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh warned that any attack by Israel or the U.S. would be met with retaliation against their bases and interests globally. The Houthis claimed responsibility, saying they launched a hypersonic missile in solidarity with Gaza. Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz promised a severe counterstrike, further deepening regional instability amid the ongoing conflict. (PC: AP)
