The Israel Defense Forces launched airstrikes on two key military sites in central Syria, targeting the Tadmur base at Palmyra airport and the T-4 airbase. These facilities are linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps. Israel has intensified its operations in Syria following the regime change in Damascus last December.1

A missile launched by Yemen's Houthi forces was intercepted by Israel, marking the fourth such attack in a week. The projectile, downed before entering Israeli airspace, triggered alarms across central Israel. The Houthis, backed by Iran, have escalated their attacks since the October 2023 conflict began.2

Israel continues to confront mounting threats, including a series of missile launches by Yemen's Houthis and airstrikes in Syria targeting Iranian-linked sites. The Houthis' recent actions underscore their alignment with Hamas, while Israel's strikes in Syria aim to prevent insurgent groups from gaining strategic footholds.12
