07:03โขNavy Strikes Yemen From Sea For First Time
โจThe newspapers report on Israel conducting its first naval strike against Yemen's Hodeidah port using missile boats rather than aircraft, marking an unprecedented tactical shift (13tv, INN, Maariv, now14, times, Kipa, Haaretz, Kan, walla). The IDF confirmed the attack targeted infrastructure used for terrorist operations after issuing evacuation warnings. Meanwhile, extensive coverage focuses on the tragic death of 14-year-old Uri Portel in Rishon LeZion, who was accidentally shot by his 16-year-old friend during target practice with the friend's father's gun (Israel Hayom, Mako, n12, Ynet). Reports reveal the weapon was brought to school for a week, with the father currently abroad and facing investigation upon return. Additionally, the IDF released its investigation into Kibbutz Erez during October 7th, concluding that local defense teams with only 12 weapons successfully repelled 20 Hamas terrorists and prevented a massacre, though the military failed in its protective mission (Davar, Srugim).
