Houthi Attacks Escalate Yemen Conflict

Iran-backed Houthi rebels have escalated regional conflict with strikes on Aden, Yemen's interim capital, targeting the presidential palace and airport and causing casualties. Meanwhile, Iran is employing new maritime tactics in the Strait of Hormuz, reportedly to keep oil prices high and impact US midterm elections. Developments in the West Bank and Gaza include a drone strike killing one Palestinian and clashes that injured a Washington Post photojournalist, drawing international condemnation. Also, the Weintraub family, survivors of the October 7th attack, return to Kibbutz Holit after 1,000 days of displacement, showcasing resilience amid ongoing conflict.
