In a notable escalation of conflict, a drone launched by Yemen's Houthi rebels infiltrated Israel's air defense systems, hitting the southern Ramon Airport. The incident, which shattered glass and injured one, comes in the wake of Israeli strikes on Yemen's capital that killed several key Houthi leaders.

This aerial assault marks a significant heightening of the ongoing tensions between Israel and the Iran-backed Houthis, who have vowed more drone attacks on Israeli targets and naval vessels navigating the Red Sea. The attack also highlights vulnerabilities in Israel's defense strategy.

Simultaneously, a pivotal ruling from Israel's Supreme Court demands better conditions for Palestinian detainees, reflecting internal debates about Israel's military policies. In a separate development, former President Trump announced an unconfirmed Israeli acceptance of a ceasefire proposal with Hamas, underscoring the complexities of the Middle Eastern conflict.
