In a significant escalation, the Houthis in Yemen have launched a hypersonic ballistic missile at Israel, marking a new phase in the region's conflicts, although it was intercepted. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared readiness for a broader military operation on the northern front with Lebanon, indicating a multi-front campaign against Iran's allies including Hezbollah.
