Yemen launches fresh missile attack on Tel Aviv
The Israeli army announced that the sirens sounded in several areas in occupied Palestine including Tel Aviv after a missile was fired from Yemen.
Reports suggest that 20 settlers were injured as they were fleeing to the shelter.
Israeli media also reported that the Ben Gurion airport was closed.
Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched a devastating war on Gaza on October 7 after the territory’s Palestinian Resistance movements carried out a surprise retaliatory attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, against the occupying entity.
Yemeni Armed Forces have said that they won’t stop their attacks until unrelenting Israeli ground and aerial offensives in Gaza, which have killed at least 27,948 people and wounded another 67,459 individuals, come to an end.
The United States and Britain in December announced a military coalition to target Yemen in support of Israel.

Israel admits assassinating Hamas leader Haniyeh in Tehran
Israeli minister for military affairs Yizrael Katz made the remarks on Monday, claiming that the regime would escalate its attacks against Yemen, including by staging assassinations.
“Just as we did to [Ismail] Haniyeh, [Yahya] Sinwar, and [Sayyed Hassan] Nasrallah in Tehran, Gaza, and Lebanon,“ Katz alleged, PressTV reported.
Haniyeh was assassinated back in July after the regime carried out a targeted killing operation against the Iranian capital Tehran, to which he had travelled as an official guest to attend the inauguration ceremony of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
The regime assassinated Haniyeh’s successor, Sinwar, in another attack against the Gaza Strip in October, and staged a targeted killing strike against Beirut in September that resulted in the assassination of Nasrallah.
Katz threatened that the regime would carry out the atrocities that he had mentioned in Yemen’s capital Sana’a and the western port city of al-Hudaydah.

Iraq’s PMU masses resistance forces on border with Syria
The media bureau of Hashd al-Sha’abi announced in a statement that the forces were sent to reinforce the frontier as part of the Nineveh Sector Operations, and amid bad weather conditions and a severe cold snap in the region.
It emphasized that such measures fall within efforts to secure the Iraqi-Syrian border, and could be described as precautionary steps aimed at thwarting any hostile attempt to undermine Iraq”s national security and stability.
Hashd al-Sh’abai (PMU) fighters played a major role in the liberation of Daesh-held areas in the country.
Back in November 2016, the Iraqi parliament approved a law giving full legal status to the PMU fighters. It recognized the PMU as part of the national armed forces, placed the forces under the command of the prime minister, and granted them the right to receive salaries and pensions like the regular army and police forces.
Militants, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group, launched a surprise two-pronged attack on Syria’s northwestern city of Aleppo and the countryside around Idlib on November 27. They marched southward to seize control of several major cities, including Hama, Homs, Dara’a, and Suwayda, before entering and capturing the capital Damascus early on December 8.
