The Coalition to Fight Legitimacy in Yemen said Friday it destroyed two mines laid by the Houthi militias in the south of the Red Sea.

The Coalition said a total of 166 marine mines have been removed and destroyed.

The actions of the insurgents, according to the Coalition, threatened maritime security in Bab Al-Mandab and the southern Red Rea.

Meanwhile, the website of the Yemeni army said that Coalition fighter jets launched on Friday raids on Houthi sites near the capital Sanaa and Amran governorate.

The army’s media arm also said that hundreds of Houthi fighters have been killed in battles on the Marib and al-Jawf fronts.

Armed Forces Spokesman Brig. Abdu Majli urged the International Committee of the Red Cross to remove the bodies of Houthi gunmen.

More than 3,000 people have been killed in Lebanon during 13 months of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, Lebanon's Health Ministry said Monday. At least 13,492 have been injured.

Hezbollah began firing rockets into northern Israel the day after Hamas’ surprise attack into Israel on Oct. 7, 2023 ignited the war in Gaza. Hezbollah and Hamas are both allied with Iran.

The conflict dramatically escalated on Sept. 23 with intense Israeli airstrikes on south and east Lebanon as well as Beirut’s southern suburbs, leaving hundreds dead and leading to the displacement of nearly 1.2 million people.

Israel began a ground invasion of south Lebanon on Oct. 1, causing wide destruction in border villages but making little advances on the ground inside Lebanon.

In Israel, 72 people have been killed from Hezbollah attacks, including 30 soldiers.
