15.09.2026 โ‡ข The Day Israel Aided Saudi Arabia Against the Houthis
โŒจ

Overnight alerts reported Houthi missiles and drones hitting six Saudi cities, injuring civilians as Hormuz traffic thinned and oil prices spiked. By morning outlets reported Israeli intelligence assistance to Riyadh, later confirmed by diplomatic and regional sources as contacts on military cooperation against the Houthis, alongside a reported meeting of Israeli, American, Saudi and Qatari army chiefs.

Domestically attention turned to Religious Zionism's unveiling of a next-term judicial plan โ€” splitting the attorney-general role, override clause and hearings for justices โ€” and an AI campaign clip showing the Supreme Court president and attorney-general dragged away, condemned across the system with Herzog urging argument on merits.

Bereaved families unveiled the '7.10 File' accusing Netanyahu of responsibility for the failure.

In the evening the IDF and Shin Bet struck in Khan Younis, killing Hamas Rafah brigade commander Nael Abu Obeid.
