This hour on Israel Today: Ongoing War Report, we're following developments in Yemen where Houthi fighters are pushing to seize strategic heights that could cut off the Red Sea coast, amid reports that U.S. strikes against the group were called off at the last minute. In Gaza, hundreds of thousands of children are returning to makeshift schools for the first time in nearly three years, facing damaged facilities and unaffordable supplies. We also bring you details on a massive explosion at an ammo depot in Aleppo, Syria, with Damascus denying Israeli involvement, and France summoning Iran's ambassador following the closure of a cultural center in Tehran.
