Following the interception, debris was observed and damage assessment is underway.\n\nThe Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) navy disclosed that two oil tankers experienced fires after being hit by mines while attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. The statement indicated that the two vessels - one in the eastern part and the other within the Strait itself - were traversing an unauthorized route.\n\nOn Thursday, Saudi attacks in Yemen resulted in the death of nine civilians, including three children, according to the Sanaa-based Health Ministry. The ministry's statement further noted that 14 others sustained injuries during the assaults.\n\nUS President Donald Trump indicated the possibility of needing to destroy more of Iran, suggesting that rebuilding the nation could take up to 25 years following the US-Israeli conflict in the country. Trump shared these sentiments with reporters.\n\nYair, leader Gadi Eisenkot, has secured the support of a majority of Knesset members, potentially granting him the authority to attempt forming the next government. Eisenkot garnered 67 recommendations, surpassing the 46 received by incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Israeli President Isaac Herzog announced that he will disclose his selection for government formation on Sunday.",
