Yemen’s Houthis claimed two attacks on Israel, escalating the conflict in the Middle East. The group launched cruise missiles and drones at vital and military targets in Israel for the first time since the war began on February 28. This move comes amid disruptions in global maritime traffic due to Iran blocking the Strait of Hormuz.
Meanwhile, the Revolutionary Guards threatened to strike American universities in the region if the US does not condemn attacks on Iranian universities before March 30. The possibility of American troops deploying in Iran is being speculated, with plans for operations on Iranian soil being prepared by the Pentagon.
The toll on civilians is heavy, with casualties reported in Iran and Israel as a result of the conflict. In Lebanon, the situation worsens as Hezbollah, backed by Iran, launched rockets at Israel, leading to casualties among Lebanese journalists. Israeli strikes have resulted in a significant number of deaths and displacement in Lebanon since early March.
