Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett discussed the need for strong action against Iran following its recent attack. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for an immediate ceasefire amid escalating violence. Bennett stressed that Iran’s nuclear ambitions and support for terrorism require a decisive response, noting the urgent need for international intervention.
The Israeli military asserts they have killed Hassan Nasrallah, the Hezbollah leader, in a Beirut airstrike. This action, part of a broader military campaign, has significantly impacted the region, leading to deaths, injuries, and ongoing hostilities. The ramifications of this high-profile killing on Middle Eastern geopolitics are yet to unfold.
In a significant escalation, Israel conducted air strikes on Hodeidah, targeting areas affiliated with the Houthi group. The strikes were in response to deadly drone attacks by the Houthis in Tel Aviv and aimed to curb the group's expanding influence in the region. Six people were reported killed, as the international community watches with concern.
