Three Saudi soldiers were killed along with dozens of Yemeni rebels in overnight border clashes Friday, according to AP.
Yemeni rebels reportedly attacked border posts late Friday in the Najran province while Saudi troops backed by fighter jets retaliated, the kingdom’s Defense Ministry confirmed.
The Israeli military conducted airstrikes Sunday night in the area between Israel and Syria, targeting a group of militants allegedly trying to plant a bomb on the Israeli border.
The Israel Defense Forces said the airstrikes were carried out in the occupied Golan Heights against four militants who crossed into the area from Syria.
Security officials and eyewitnesses say Yemen’s southern port city of Aden has been hit by dozens of Saudi-led coalition airstrikes.
The attacks on Saturday come as Shiite Houthi rebels mobilized hundreds of reinforcements in an effort to wrest control of the city from militias supporting embattled President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi.
According to activists, the Islamist rebels in Syria have taken over much of the key north-western town of Jisr al-Shughur.
Jisr al-Shughur is the only major town under government control in Idlib province and correspondents say it could give them a route into the heartland of the ruling elite’s power.
After four months of quiet, a rocket was fired on Thursday evening from Gaza towards communities in southern Israel. The rocket exploded in an open field in the Sha’ar Ha Negev Regional Council. There were no injuries or damages reported.
Close to midnight on Thursday, the IDF tanks attacked a Hamas position in the northern Gaza Strip in retaliation for the rocket that landed in southern Israel a few hours earlier.
