Houthis strike Saudi targets, Israel marks Oct. 7 anniversary and other Mideast developments
The Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted a ballistic missile as Houthi rebels claimed attacks on airports and military sites.
- On Wednesday, Houthi rebels claimed they attacked military facilities and airports across Saudi Arabia using ballistic and cruise missile drones, with spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree claiming strikes targeted "critical sites" without providing evidence.
- The strikes occurred as the Saudi-led coalition launched a major ground and air offensive against Houthi forces in Yemen; Gen. Turki reported forces intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile fired north of Riyadh.
- Missiles targeted King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, disrupting flights according to Flightradar24, a tracking platform; the Houthis also claimed a separate missile strike early Wednesday against Aden, the seat of the Yemeni government.
- Israelis gathered at the Nova music festival site near Kibbutz Reim on Wednesday to mark the third anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack that killed 1,200 people and saw 251 taken hostage.
- For Palestinians, the anniversary brings continued hardship following Israel's retaliatory campaign in Gaza, as most of the population of about 2 million people live in squalid tent camps while Israeli strikes continue almost daily.
