US President Donald Trump has threatened to launch another military operation against Iran, as Washington quietly withdraws diplomatic personnel and relocates troops from bases across the Middle East in moves resembling preparations ahead of the initial US-Israeli strikes in February.
Saudi Arabia reported that King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh resumed operations at two terminals, while Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis stated they would continue striking the facility, which they described as a "military target." The airport had halted operations on 10 October following an attack claimed by the Houthis that killed 13 people, which Saudi Arabia identified as the deadliest in the kingdom in more than a decade.
Additionally, Saudi Arabia said it intercepted another wave of missiles and drones today as fighting with the militant group continued.
Houthi spokesman Yahya Saria stated that the group attacked Riyadh Airport and military bases. He also warned international air carriers and passengers against flying to Riyadh’s airport.
Israeli strikes reportedly hit the Islamic University in Gaza City, killing three people. The reported casualties included students and security guards.
