An Al-Akhbar correspondent reported that an Israeli strike targeted Yater. This occurred after the owners of three houses in the town received threatening calls warning of a bombing. Following these threats, the Lebanese Army and UNIFIL deployed in Yater.

A report on Israel’s Channel 12 revealed that, despite a year and a half of military operations in the Gaza Strip since October 7, the Israeli forces have only destroyed a quarter of Hamas's tunnel infrastructure. This suggests that Hamas maintains substantial capabilities both above and below ground.

The report indicates that a significant portion of the underground network, described as a vast subterranean city, remains operational. An internal security briefing confirmed that 75% of Hamas’s tunnels are still intact, and they continue to be used for movement, shelter, and operations.

Reports indicate the U.S. military, after using Yemen as a testing ground for bunker-busting bombs, is now doubtful about the success of a military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. The U.S. military is unsure if such a strike would achieve its strategic goals. They note that Iranian sites are more heavily protected than those in Yemen. Recent airstrikes on Yemeni missile infrastructure were deemed ineffective.
