Israel Attacks Lebanon and Syria; Yemen’s Houthis Strike Israeli Airport

HeadlineSep 09, 2025

Officials in Lebanon say at least five people were killed and five others wounded Monday as Israeli warplanes struck parts of the eastern Beqaa Valley. It’s Israel’s latest violation of a ceasefire deal signed last November.

Separately, Syrian media reports Israel’s Air Force bombed targets in Homs in central Syria, as well as the coastal city of Latakia and the historic city of Palmyra. Syria’s Foreign Ministry called Israel’s latest strikes “a blatant infringement” of Syrian sovereignty and a threat to regional stability.

Meanwhile, Yemen’s Houthis have claimed responsibility for a drone attack on an airport near the Israeli Red Sea city of Eilat. Two people were injured in the attack, which followed Israeli strikes in late August that killed the Houthi prime minister and other top officials in Sana’a.
