The IDF has issued a new evacuation warning for three ports in Yemen: Ras Isa, Hodeidah, and Salif.
A similar warning was issued for Sana’a Airport just days before it was heavily bombed in a major wave of airstrikes.
During the opening ceremony of the Eurovision Song Contest in Basel, Switzerland, Israeli singer Yuval Raphael faced a threatening gesture from a protester, who mimed a throat-slitting motion. The incident occurred as Raphael walked the turquoise carpet, accompanied by a bodyguard—a security measure not seen with other contestants. The Israeli delegation reported the threat to local police, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation.
The event was marked by political protests, with demonstrators displaying Palestinian flags and anti-Israel signs, including messages like “You can’t cheer for apartheid” and calls for humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Protesters also directed chants of “Shame on you” at Eurovision officials present at the scene. The heightened tensions underscore the challenges faced by Israeli participants amid ongoing geopolitical conflicts.
Holocaust survivor Magda Baratz, 96, passed away just days after learning that her great-grandson, Master Sergeant (res.) Asaf Cafri, 26, was killed in combat in Gaza. Baratz received the tragic news while attending a Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany, where she had been imprisoned during World War II.
Cafri, a reserve soldier from Beit Hashmonai, served in the IDF Armored Corps and was killed by sniper fire from a Hamas cell in Beit Hanoun. Three other soldiers were wounded in the incident.
Baratz had a close bond with her great-grandson and was deeply affected by his death. She is survived by three children, ten grandchildren, and seventeen great-grandchildren.

Israeli-American hostage, Edan Alexander, may be released early this week — possibly as soon as Monday — according to a source involved in the negotiations.
The source notes that specific security conditions must be met for the release to proceed, including a pause in Israeli military operations and drone activity over parts of Gaza, as seen in prior hostage releases.
Hamas stated that the release of Edan Alexander will be part of broader efforts to reach a ceasefire, reopen border crossings, and facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza.
During a closed-door session, Prime Minister Netanyahu revealed that U.S. intelligence believes Hamas is considering releasing American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander. The move is reportedly being weighed as a potential goodwill gesture toward former President Donald Trump.
Alexander, who was kidnapped from the Nova festival, holds dual citizenship and has become a focus of bipartisan efforts for hostage release.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has withdrawn the Nahal Brigade from the West Bank after three months of operations. This move is in preparation for a significant offensive in the Gaza Strip, as the brigade joins the 162nd Division for upcoming missions.
The planned operation, dubbed “Gideon’s Chariots,” aims to “conquer” Gaza, relocate the Palestinian civilian population toward the south of the Strip, target Hamas, and prevent the terror group from taking control of humanitarian aid supplies.
In his inaugural Sunday blessing as pontiff, Pope Leo XIV called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the release of hostages, and the delivery of humanitarian aid, echoing the peace advocacy of his predecessor, Pope Francis.
Addressing a crowd of approximately 100,000 gathered in St. Peter’s Square today, Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Prevost from the United States, emphasized the urgent need for peace in conflict zones, including Gaza and Ukraine. He stated, “I too address the world’s great powers by repeating the ever-present call ‘never again war’” .
Pope Leo XIV’s message aligns with the Vatican’s longstanding commitment to peace and humanitarian efforts. His predecessor, Pope Francis, was known for his deep concern for the suffering in Gaza, often advocating for ceasefires and the release of hostages during his tenure.
