🇾🇪🇾🇪⚔️🇸🇦 The deadline set for forces loyal to Saudi Arabia to leave the city of Taiz without clashes has expired.
Intense clashes are underway in the west of Taiz city, especially in the Jabal Han area.
Taking the highly strategic Jabal Han is crucial for the Yemeni Ansarullah in their Taiz campaign.
For instance, Jabal Han directly overlooks the recent Ansarullah gain of Al-Hanjar and has fire control over it.
Without it the Western approaches to the city cannot be secured.

🇾🇪 💥🇸🇦 The Yemeni Armed Forces have announced they managed to hit a Saudi Typhoon fighter jet above the Saada Governorate with an AD missile:
With God’s help, our armed forces just now targeted a Saudi “Typhoon” warplane that had taken off from Taif Air Base. It was engaged over the skies of Saada Governorate with a surface-to-air missile and took a direct hit, and it is now going down.
🐻Another day, another W for the God’s partisans.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇸🇦🇾🇪| Israel & the CIA are helping Saudi Arabia by sending them military assistance (Uganda mercenaries and/or military equipment) to fight the Yemenis.
This L-100-30 transport aircraft, owned by Israeli businessman and arms dealer Barak Orland, flew from Uganda to Sharorah Airport in southern Saudi Arabia yesterday near the Yemeni border.

🇮🇱 A building in Tel Aviv that was damaged by Iranian ballistic missiles during the Ramadan War has collapsed while under repair.
To bring you up to speed, Iranian missile warheads hitting at speeds of between Mach 3-5, create huge amounts of kinetic energy that in turn create shock waves underground.
The waves damage the foundation of buildings within a radius of 500 meters.
Many high rises in the Occupied Palestine will be coming down soon as the cost of foundational repair exceeds that of demolition and rebuilding.

🇮🇱 An explosion has damaged the Intel factory in Kiryat Gat, Occupied Palestine.
Two injuries have been reported.
The blast happened as the ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu (Née. Benzion Mileikowsky) was visiting Kiryat Gat.
Zionist occupation authorities claim the accidental explosion of a nitrogen gas capsule caused the incident.

❗️Riyadh halted public alerts days before Ansarallah strikes
Expand
Saudi Arabia stopped issuing public alerts warning of imminent military attacks days before a series of strikes by Ansarallah on Riyadh airport killed over a dozen people and injured hundreds.
The government has not explained why it failed to issue public warnings ahead of four attacks on Riyadh over the past week.
The alerts had drawn attention to the situation undermining the kingdom’s efforts to project an image of stability at home and abroad.
Their absence during the airport strikes raised concerns over Saudi Arabia’s vulnerability to attacks and its capacity to protect residents and visitors, according to four western and Arab officials in the region and political analysts who spoke to Reuters.
The lack of warnings also reflected an effort to preserve a sense of normalcy, they said.
“They (the Saudi government) want to have it both ways: to launch a military operation and at the same time try to give confidence to the population and external stakeholders,” said Sultan Alamer, a US-based Saudi academic and senior resident fellow at the Middle East Policy Council think tank.

I think there are two possibilities for this. The first is that the Saudis turned the warnings off themselves, as a way to try and accuse Yemen of targeting civilians. The second, is the US, which is where the Saudis got theor defense architecture, turned it off for the purpose of forcing Saudi Arabia to publicly normalize with Israel. This is a theory pushed by Kevork Almassian.
I think both are possible, but I lean more towards the former than the latter.
⭕️ According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, Israeli attacks over the past 24 hours killed 3 Palestinians, including 1 who succumbed to previous injuries, and wounded 17 others.
Since the 11 October 2025 so-called ‘ceasefire,’ the death toll has reached 1,501, with 5,323 injured and 838 bodies recovered from beneath the rubble.
❗️UN warns delayed US-Iran deal on Hormuz fertilizer shipments risks food crisis
A failure by the US and Iran to reach an agreement within weeks on a UN-backed plan to transport fertilizer through the Strait of Hormuz could trigger a food security crisis in parts of Asia and Africa, an official overseeing the initiative warned on Wednesday.
The UN established a task force in March to facilitate fertilizer shipments through the strait. Although the mechanism has yet to be implemented, UN Under-Secretary-General Jorge Moreira da Silva said it could be activated within 7-10 days of an agreement between Washington and Tehran.
“It’s absolutely crucial to get the deal in the next few weeks. Otherwise, we will miss the planting season,” he said in an interview in Bangkok on the sidelines of the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.
❗️Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi has arrived in Riyadh for his first official visit to Saudi Arabia since taking office in May, according to a statement from his media office.
The visit follows the cancellation of an earlier trip in July after US-Saudi airstrikes targeted Popular Mobilization Forces positions across seven Iraqi provinces, killing at least 20 fighters, according to Iraq’s National Security Council.
Baghdad condemned the strikes as a violation of Iraqi sovereignty, while demanding evidence for claims that attacks on Saudi Arabia had originated from Iraqi territory.
⭕️ Oil prices rose on Wednesday after two vessels came under attack in the Strait of Hormuz, while Reuters claimed that Iranian officials said Tehran was adopting new tactics to target shipping. According to the officials, Iran is seeking to keep oil prices elevated and influence the upcoming US midterm elections.

❗️Yemen hospitals overwhelmed as war casualties surge, Red Cross warns
Hospitals across Yemen are struggling to treat a sharp increase in wounded people along several front lines, with some facilities admitting more than 700 casualties in a single week, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) warned today.
Hospitals in Marib, Taiz and along the Red Sea coast have reported unprecedented numbers of wounded, according to the agency, as medical staff face mounting pressure amid shortages of surgical supplies, anesthesia, oxygen and essential medicines.
“Trauma care staff are under enormous pressure,” said Feras Abusamra, the ICRC’s health coordinator.
❗️Israeli criminal networks using drones and balloons to smuggle drugs into Jordan
Expand
Israeli criminal networks are using drones and balloons to smuggle narcotics into Jordan, exploiting rising prices in the kingdom, according to a report published by The Telegraph on Tuesday.
The newspaper cited officials who said quadcopter drones were being used to transport crystal meth, amphetamines and hashish across the border, while photographs from military sources showed balloons being used in smuggling operations.
Jordanian military sources told The Telegraph that Israeli announcements about weapons-smuggling attempts from Jordan present a selective picture of cross-border activity while overlooking drug trafficking into the kingdom. One source said Jordanian border guards had thwarted several attempts to smuggle narcotics from Israel in recent months.
Figures reviewed by The Telegraph indicate that Jordanian forces have intercepted more than 15,000 Captagon pills, nearly 20,000 kilograms of crystal meth and 6,000 blocks of hashish since the beginning of 2026, alongside other narcotics.

Ukraine had previously assisted the Persian Gulf Arab countries as well against Iranian drones during the 40-day war.
