  "account": "Yemen's ruling Presidential Leadership Council declared a major military operation against Houthis, as the Iran-backed rebels advanced on the outskirts of Taiz. Rashad al-Alimi, the council's head, stated that the operation aims to recover territories held by the Houthis, who recently seized Yemen's Red Sea coast and Bab el-Mandeb Strait. He called for international support to his Saudi-backed government. The Houthis have been advancing against government forces and allies near Taiz, disrupting a major road linking the city to the port of Aden. The Houthis also claimed to have struck Saudi oil facilities, though there is no further information or evidence provided. Meanwhile, an Israeli strike killed one Palestinian in Gaza, and health officials reported a surge in Israeli fire and airstrikes across Gaza over the past month. Israel claims it is targeting militant threats, including Hamas, while Palestinians report retaliatory attacks.",
