Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree said the group’s fighters attacked “a vital target” in Israel’s Red Sea port of Eilat with a number of drones.
“We confirm our continuation of our military operations against the Israeli enemy,” he added. “These operations will not stop until the aggression stops, the siege on the Gaza Strip is lifted, and the aggression on Lebanon stops.”

Israeli settlers target Palestinian village in occupied West Bank
Israeli settlers have carried out another attack on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
This time, the attack targeted the village of Beit Furik, outside of Nablus where houses, cars and land were burned to the ground after dozens of masked settlers invaded the village.
“They did not leave anything, the electricity pole, and all our belongings, the sofas, the water tank, they did not leave a thing,” Mahmoud Hananeh, a resident of the village, said.
“There were around 40 to 50 settlers, at that time the army’s presence was clear, the army came when we started resisting them and it was clear the army were by the settlers’ side, protecting them, shooting towards us, and harassing us,” Wael Hananeh, another resident, said.

In Lebanon, Halevi says Israeli forces will continue to fight Hezbollah
Israeli army’s chief of staff Herzi Halevi said that the military will continue to strike Lebanon until displaced Israelis from the north can return.
“Hezbollah has paid a high price, its chain of command has collapsed, many of its operatives have been killed, and extensive infrastructure dismantled,” Halevi said in a statement released by the Israeli army.
“This organisation will continue to shoot, we will continue to fight, to implement plans, go further, conduct deep strikes, and hit Hezbollah very hard.
“We will stop when we know that we are bringing the residents [of northern Israel back] safely.”

Hezbollah reviewing ceasefire draft
A ceasefire proposal to halt fighting in Lebanon is still being reviewed after a copy was handed over earlier this week by the US ambassador to Lebanon to Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, who has been negotiating on behalf of Hezbollah.
An unnamed Lebanese official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press that Berri is expected to give Lebanon’s response on Monday.
Berri told the pan-Arab Asharq Al-Awsat daily newspaper the draft does not include any demand that allows Israel to act militarily in Lebanon if the deal is violated. “We will not accept any infringement of our sovereignty,” Berri was quoted as saying.
One of the items mentioned in the draft that Lebanon does not accept is a proposal to form a committee to supervise the agreement that includes members from Western countries. “The atmosphere is positive but all relies on how things will end,” said Berri.

‘The children of Gaza are very tired’
In advance of World Children Day on November 20, UNICEF says there is little to celebrate in the besieged coastal enclave.
In a post on X, the UN agency for children released a video of a Palestinian girl in Gaza who says children there “are simply asking for the end of their suffering, for the end of this war”.
“The bloodshed in Gaza must end. The children of Gaza are very tired,” Majda, an 11-year-old girl from Gaza, said. “Our life used to be beautiful. I hope to return to my normal life.”

Israeli forces retreat after pushing deep into Lebanon
Israeli soldiers reached their deepest point in Lebanon since they invaded six weeks ago before pulling back after fierce battles with Hezbollah fighters.
Troops captured a strategic hill in the southern Lebanese village of Chamaa, five kilometres (three miles) from the Israeli border early Saturday, the state-run National News Agency reports, adding Israeli soldiers were later pushed back from the position.
Israeli forces blew up the Shrine of Shimon the Prophet in Chamaa, as well as several homes, before they withdrew, the news report said.
Israel’s military said in a statement that its troops “continue their limited, localized, and targeted operational activity in southern Lebanon”.
The push on the ground came as Israeli warplanes pounded Beirut’s southern suburbs as well as several other areas in southern Lebanon, including the port city of Tyre.

Israeli forces continue to strike Beirut’s southern suburbs
There doesn’t seem to be any letup whatsoever in the targeting of Beirut’s southern suburbs called Dahiyeh. It is described as a Hezbollah stronghold which once had a population of around one million.
There is virtually nobody there now.
People used to go back and check on their homes, their belongings and their businesses during the day but that has now become increasingly difficult.
Today, the initial strikes happened in the relatively early hours of the morning – around 9am (06:00 GMT). Following evacuation threats, there was another round of strikes in the afternoon.
That is not the only area in the southern suburbs of Beirut that Israel has been hitting today. There was another massive wave of strikes on the southern city of Tyre, and as we understand, around the surrounding villages, too.
The Israeli military put out evacuation threats for at least 15 villages in southern Lebanon so far today.
