Israeli forces eliminated three Hezbollah operatives engaged in terrorist activities during a holiday period, as announced on X by user BittonRosen on October 2nd, 2025, at 4:38 PM UTC. The exact timing and location of the operation were not specified. The announcement came during a reporting window from 3:08 PM to 4:38 PM UTC on October 2nd, 2025, which also saw continued developments regarding Israeli military installations. The Israeli Air Force is expanding its secretive RA-01 stealth UAV program with a second specialized hangar at Ramon Air Base. Concurrently, the U.S. Army is reportedly increasing its THAAD ballistic missile defense base in Israel, adding approximately five more launch sites to the existing six, according to information shared via X on October 2nd, 2025. These military developments at Ramon Air Base and the THAAD base occurred within a previous reporting window on October 2nd, 2025, between 2:38 PM and 3:07 PM UTC. The RA-01 UAVs were previously leaked in a U.S. intelligence document in October 2024. The exact number of RA-01 stealth UAVs remains unclear, as stated by the source reporting on the expansion. In Yemen, videos circulating widely on Houthi-affiliated accounts show an individual identified as Rashid al-Haddad, referred to by media outlets as the “Hot Houthi Pirate” and “Timhouthi Chalamet,” performing a traditional Yemeni dance. One clip features him dancing near the beached Galaxy Leader, a ship previously bombed by the U.S. Navy and IDF. Another video shows him dancing with Yemen Petroleum Company storage tanks in the background, following an Israeli strike. These videos are being promoted as demonstrations of resilience against Israeli military pressure. This activity was also noted in the previous reporting window.
