Saudi Airports Attacked Amid Ongoing Conflict; Israeli Airstrikes Kill in Gaza
Saudi Arabia reported attacks on two airports in Najran and Jizan, injuring three people, following claims by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels of missile and drone strikes. The Houthis also claimed an attack near Abha airport, though this was unconfirmed. These incidents are part of ongoing conflict involving Saudi Arabia and Houthi forces in Yemen, linked to efforts to secure oil export routes. Separately, Israeli airstrikes in Gaza City killed one or two people amid continued regional violence nearly three years after Hamas' 2023 attack on Israel.
