Israeli Defense Minister Declares Final Phase of Military Operations in Gaza and Yemen

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced that military operations in Gaza and Yemen have entered their “final phase,” during a high-level security briefing held Tuesday evening.
“The Israeli military is closer than ever to achieving the strategic objectives of this campaign,” Gallant stated, citing progress on multiple fronts including Gaza, Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, and Iran.
The statement follows intensified Israeli airstrikes on Houthi positions near the Red Sea port of Al-Hudaydah, following a missile launched from Yemen toward southern Israel last week. In Gaza, Israeli forces continue to press forward with ground operations targeting militant infrastructure and leadership.
Gallant emphasized the importance of maintaining aerial superiority, calling Operation Rising Lion a “milestone achievement in Israel’s defense doctrine.” He also reaffirmed Israel’s commitment to neutralizing perceived threats from Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
The defense minister’s remarks come amid growing regional tensions and international calls for restraint. No formal timeline for the end of the operations was provided.
