Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) conducted multiple ballistic missile tests across various regions near Tehran as part of a surprise readiness drill, demonstrating enhanced military preparedness amid ongoing regional tensions. Concurrently, the Iranian-backed Houthi group in Yemen launched a ballistic missile targeting Israel, which was intercepted by the Israeli Air Force without triggering public sirens. The Houthis also reportedly targeted Israel's Ben Gurion Airport with a hypersonic missile. In response to these threats, Israel launched airstrikes on Hezbollah military infrastructure in southern Lebanon, specifically in the Ali Al-Taher area and the Tel al-Sheqif hill. Israeli defense officials have expressed readiness for potential escalations, including possible Iranian missile strikes. Additionally, Israeli and Western intelligence sources have reported concerns over alleged Chinese assistance to Iran in replenishing and developing its ballistic missile capabilities, a claim met with some skepticism. Israeli media indicate that Israel is prepared to take action regarding the China-Iran missile cooperation.
