Middle East Crisis: Iran-Israel Direct Conflict and Houthis' War Cry
The Middle East sky is now heavy with the smell of gunpowder. After a long shadow war, Iran and Israel are now face to face. This morning, the direct attack on Israel by Yemen's Houthi rebels and the fierce attack by the Israeli Air Force on Tehran have pushed the entire region towards an uncertain war. In today's report, we will highlight the latest and important updates on the Middle East crisis.
1. Ballistic missile attack by the Houthis on Israel for the first time
Yemen's pro-Iranian Houthi rebels took an unprecedented step this morning. For the first time, they fired a ballistic missile directly towards Israel. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claimed that their air defense system destroyed the missile before it hit its target. However, with this attack, the Houthis officially announced their direct participation in the ongoing war, which further widened the scope of the conflict.
2. Israeli airstrikes in Tehran: 10 major explosions
Early this morning, the Iranian capital Tehran was rocked by a series of explosions. The Israeli Air Force carried out this surprise attack targeting several Iranian military installations. Witnesses heard at least 10 powerful explosions. According to Israel's claims, the main target of this operation was Iran's missile production facilities.
3. Attack on nuclear facilities and counterattack on US bases
The most worrying information is that, according to international news agencies, some of Iran's nuclear facilities were partially damaged in the Israeli attack.
Iran did not delay in responding to this. Iranian-backed forces launched drone and missile attacks on US military bases in Saudi Arabia. According to initial reports, at least 15 US soldiers were injured in the attack, raising fears that Washington could be directly involved in the war.
4. Humanitarian disaster in Lebanon: 5 paramedics killed
In addition to Gaza and Iran, the conflict has also spread to Lebanon. Five paramedics or medical workers were killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon. The attack, which took place while carrying out rescue operations, has drawn international condemnation.
