Israeli Airstrikes in Lebanon Kill Nine Amid Regional Tensions in Yemen and Hormuz
Israeli airstrikes on a southern Lebanese village killed nine people, including a child, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry. In Yemen, Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed to have shot down a Saudi military reconnaissance aircraft and three drones amid ongoing conflict with Saudi-backed forces, though these claims remain unverified. The Yemeni government reported multiple airstrikes on Houthi positions. Separately, a senior UAE official stated that no single state should control the Strait of Hormuz, responding to Iran's plan to announce a new exclusion zone near the waterway.
