  "account": "Saudi-led coalition announced on Monday that it has destroyed Houthi missile launchers, storage facilities and tunnels in Yemen. The coalition spokesperson, Maj. Gen. Turki Al-Malki, stated that the operation aimed to degrade the rebels' ability to strike targets inside the kingdom. Houthis retaliated by claiming they fired missiles at Saudi-backed government forces in Aden and Lahj provinces. Yemeni government accused the rebels of targeting displacement camps in Aden's outskirts, but no evidence was provided. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz denied any clashes with the military over Iran ahead of national elections. Israel's President Isaac Herzog said he won't be influenced by US President Donald Trump on the next government formation. Pakistan's military chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, was set to meet with Iran's political and military leaders in Tehran, alongside Saudi and Turkish officials, to ease regional tensions.",
