- Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon killed at least nine people, including seven in the village of Ansar and two in Deir al-Zahrani.
- Yemen’s military said Houthi forces fired six ballistic missiles at the Mokha port, killing at least one security guard and wounding others.
- The attacks came amid stalled U.S.-Iran talks and continued disruptions to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and tensions across the wider region.
The United Arab Emirates said an Iran-owned tanker operated by Abu Dhabi state company ADNOC was attacked while passing through the Strait of Hormuz on Friday evening. Emirati authorities said there were no injuries. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said a bulk carrier had been hit by an unknown projectile in the same area, though it was not immediately clear whether it was the same vessel.
The report said shipping through the strait has been heavily disrupted since the conflict between Iran and Israel escalated, with the waterway remaining effectively closed. The article noted that the attacks on vessels have continued as Iran seeks leverage over the key passage, while discussions between the United States and Iran remain stalled.
In southern Lebanon, Israeli airstrikes killed at least nine people, including children, according to Lebanese authorities. Israel said it struck Hezbollah infrastructure in response to actions by the group against its soldiers in a security zone. Separately, Yemen’s military said Houthi forces fired missiles at the Mokha port, killing at least one security guard and wounding others.
霍尔木兹海峡一艘船只遇袭，以色列空袭在黎巴嫩致9人死亡，及中东其他消息
阿联酋称，一艘由阿布扎比国有公司 ADNOC 运营的油轮在周五晚间经过霍尔木兹海峡时遭到袭击。阿联酋方面表示，事件没有造成伤亡。英国海上贸易行动中心则称，同一海域有一艘散货船被不明飞行物击中，但当时尚不清楚是否为同一艘船。
报道说，自伊朗与以色列冲突升级以来，霍尔木兹海峡航运一直受到严重扰乱，这一水道实际上处于关闭状态。文章指出，在美国与伊朗谈判停滞之际，针对船只的袭击仍在继续，伊朗也在通过控制这一关键通道寻求筹码。
在黎巴嫩南部，以色列空袭造成至少9人死亡，死者中包括儿童，黎巴嫩方面公布了这一数字。以色列表示，其打击目标是真主党在安全区内的基础设施，理由是该组织对以军士兵采取了行动。另据也门军方称，胡塞武装向莫卡港发射导弹，造成至少1名警卫死亡，并有多人受伤。
