As Israeli aggression in Gaza, Lebanon, and Post-Assad Syria deepens human suffering and regional instability, and amid growing international calls for ceasefires and de-escalation, Ahram Online covered the latest developments in the Middle East as they unfold on Thursday,

Air strikes have been reported in two cities in Yemen. Witnesses and governing Houthi rebels said the country's main international airport and a military base were targeted in the capital Sanaa, while a power station in the western port city of Hudaydah was also hit,

Houthi TV blamed the strikes on Israel, which has not commented on the reports. Casualties were not clear from initial reports. In recent days Israel has warned it was preparing a major attack on the Houthis after the group fired drones and missiles at it.
