Top Houthi military commander survives 'Israeli' assassination attempt: Hebrew media
Muhammad Abd al-Karim al-Ghamari, the Iran-aligned Houthi's Chief of General Staff, survived an 'Israeli' assassination attempt but sustained serious injuries, the 'Israeli' Public Broadcasting Corporation (Kan News) reported. The 'Israeli' air force reportedly launched a targeted strike Saturday night on the Yemeni capital Sanaa, aiming to kill al-Ghamari, a top-ranking military official in the Houthi leadership. While Hebrew Channel 12 confirmed the airstrike was intended to eliminate al-Ghamari, it stopped short of providing full details on the operation's outcome. However, Kan said later the Houthi official was injured but survived. Meanwhile, Axios cited an 'Israeli' official who described the operation as part of broader efforts to counter Iranian influence in the region, noting that al-Ghamari was considered the Houthis' highest-ranking military commander. Who is Mohammed al-Ghamari? Al-Ghamari serves as the Chief of General Staff for Houthi forces and is regarded as one of the group's most senior and influential military leaders. He joined the movement in 2013 and has led operations on key fronts, including Saada and Hodeidah.

Jordan allows Iraqis entry via airport without prior visa amid Iraq airspace closure
Jordan's Ministry of Interior has announced a temporary decision to allow Iraqi citizens to enter the Kingdom through Queen Alia International Airport without needing a prior visa, due to the ongoing closure of Iraqi airspace. According to ministry spokesperson the move is intended to facilitate the transit of Iraqi nationals who are currently unable to fly directly into Iraq. "With Iraq's airspace still closed, we offered Iraqis the option to come to Jordan instead, allowing them to be abroad while awaiting the resumption of flights," he said. Under the new measure, arriving Iraqi travelers will receive a visa upon arrival at the airport following a brief interview with the relevant authorities and payment of the required visa fees. Authorities will also obtain guarantees to ensure travelers leave Jordan once air travel to Iraq resumes. The spokesperson stressed that this is a temporary exception, taken in light of the current regional situation and as part of Jordan's efforts to support Iraqis during these exceptional circumstances.
