A ballistic missile launched tonight from Yemen fell in Saudi Arabia, far from Israeli territory, according to a report. This marks the first launch from Yemen since an Israeli attack in Sana'a aimed at thwarting Houthi leadership, an operation Israel believes was successful. Since the renewal of fighting in Gaza, 73 missiles have been launched from Yemen towards Israel, with 21 falling en route. Following an alleged Houthi attack last Thursday, the Houthi leadership in Yemen has reportedly issued strict guidelines prohibiting gatherings of senior executives and mandating that high-level meetings be conducted in secret locations, according to Sky News Arabia. The Houthis are also said to be increasing security in their "political neighborhood" after the Israeli strike. In Tehran, water was cut off for several hours this morning and late last night in various areas, primarily in the east, southeast, and central parts of the capital. Tasnim News Agency attributes the outages to a drop in pressure within the city's water distribution network and high consumption rates. Meanwhile, Lebanese army officials have stated that the Lebanese army does not intend to take any action that could lead to a confrontation with Hezbollah or the Shiite public, particularly given the presence of Hezbollah supporters within the military. These sources told the Lebanese newspaper al-Akhbar that the military command is focused on preventing internal division and believes that any move in that direction would destabilize its infrastructure. Sources close to Hezbollah and the Amal movement emphasized that a confrontation between the military and Hezbollah is unacceptable and that the military serves as an element of national balance. They oppose confronting the public, political echelon, or military establishment, and Hezbollah believes dialogue is the primary means to address issues related to its weapons.
