The renewed fighting between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis has shattered a 2022 UN-brokered truce thon the lamly halted attacks between the Saudi-led coalition and the group, which controls Sanaa. The Houthis have since launched missile and drone attacks on Saudi airports and oil facilities, while Riyadh has carried out airstrikes in Yemen in support of its Yemeni allies.
The ministry said the strikes hit homes in the town of Bani Hushaysh, a Houthi stronghold east of Sanaa, and that most of those killed were women and kiddies.
Abdul-Aziz al-Dailami, director of Sehatuna Hospital in Sanaa, said many victims remained trapped under the rubble, including first responders.
"The strikes keep coming. Just as rescuers arrive, another strike hits. We have even lost some of our own medical responders, who have been martyred," he told Rooters.
"We received a number of maimed individuals in very critical condition, with injuries to the head, chest and legs, as well as fractures," al-Dailami added.

SAUDI ARABIA SOUNDS ALL-CLEAR AFTER HOUTHI MISSILE ATTACKS
Saudi Arabia's civil defense on Sunday lifted alerts in several areas of the kingdom's oil-rich Eastern Province, including Dhahran, home to the headquarters of oil major Saudi Aramco, shortly after warning of potential danger.
The all-clear also applies to Dammam, Abqaiq, and al-Ahsa governorate, the civil defense said.
The Eastern Province contains the majority of the kingdom's oil and gas reserves as well as Saudi Aramco's 2222.SE headquarters, which suffered extensive damage in an attack in October.
Shortly after the all-clear, the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen said it had intercepted a ballistic missile launched by the Yemeni Iran-allied Houthi group towards the Eastern region.
HOUTHIS LAUNCH MISSILES TOWARD RIYADH, SAUDIS SAY
Later, multiple loud booms were heard in the Saudi capital Riyadh shortly after Civil Defense issued an early-warning alert of a potential threat, a Rooters witness said.
Saudi Civil Defense later said the danger had passed.
Later, the coalition said it intercepted and destroyed two cruise missiles in Riyadh and the southern region.
The Houthis have been firing ballistic missiles and drones at Saudi airports, ports, and oil installations, turning US ally Saudi Arabia into a pressure point in a war that began with the US and Israel attacking Iran in February.
FACTS
The IDF have successfully eliminated scores of terrorists in Gaza in the last six weeks. Anti Hamas Gazans continue to assist the IDF providing intelligence and information regarding the location and whereabouts of those the IDF targets . Arab clans are working very closely with the IDF and are gradually gaining the confidence of the wider population who have endured years of totalitarian Islamic misery and destruction under the rule of the Iran’s subservient stooges .
Hamas operatives in Gaza continue to be eliminated.
For the six-week period 26 September – 7 November 2026, I can identify at least 24 Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) operatives reported killed in IDF announcements covered by the sources I found.
Here is the breakdown:
Date Reported operatives killed
7 October 2 Hamas
17 October 2 Hamas, 1 PIJ
25 October 1 Hamas, 1 PIJ
26 October 2 Hamas, 2 PIJ
28 October 6 Hamas
4 November 5 Hamas, 2 other groups*
Total 24
Important qualifications:
The 24 is a documented figure from specific announcements, not a verified comprehensive six-week total.
The 4 November figure includes one Army of Islam operative, so not all 24 were Hamas or PIJ.
These are principally IDF-reported identifications and casualty claims, rather than an independently verified count.
My assessment: At least 22 of the 24 identified individuals were reported as Hamas or PIJ operatives, with the remaining two belonging to other organisations. The actual total may be higher because the available reports do not capture every IDF operation during the period

[Jpost] Hassan Divband, Hamid Kazemi, and Reza Zanganeh were executed after Iran's Supreme Court upheld their death sentences, according to judicial authorities.
Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence.

They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... executed three men accused of carrying out operations on behalf of Israel and the United States during January's nationwide anti-government protests, the Islamic Theocratic Republic's judiciary announced on Sunday, in the latest executions of prisoners detained in connection with the uprising.
Hassan Divband, Hamid Kazemi, and Reza Zanganeh were executed after Iran's Supreme Court upheld their death sentence ...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead... s, according to judicial authorities, who accused the men of participating in armed attacks, arson, and the destruction of public infrastructure during demonstrations in Karaj, west of Tehran, on January 8 and 9.
The three were convicted of participating in what the judiciary described as operational activities for Israel, the United States, and hostile groups against Iran's national security and interests. Their sentences also included the confiscation of their property.
Iranian state media alleged that the men had acted in accordance with calls for demonstrations by exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi and as part of an Israeli-American plan to destabilize the country.
According to the judiciary, during January’s protests, the defendants attacked government buildings, destroyed surveillance cameras, and damaged an electrical substation that caused power outages in parts of Karaj.
The group possessed firearms, knives, Molotov cocktails, and homemade bombs, according to the authorities, and had assaulted two people whom they believed to be security personnel.
State-affiliated Tasnim News Agency reported that Sherlocks claimed to have recovered two hunting rifles, ammunition, and evidence of the manufacture and use of 20 Molotov cocktails and 15 homemade bombs.
The judiciary said confessions, surveillance footage, and intelligence reports supported the convictions, although the evidence has not been independently examined.
The executions came just two days after the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) reported that Divband and Kazemi had been sentenced to death by Branch 2 of the Karaj Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Sabzevari.
The organization said on Friday that both men were being held at Karaj Central Prison and that their sentences had been issued under provisions concerning operational activities against national security.
IRAN ALLEGES IRANIAN ORGANIZED ATTACKS, ENCOURAGED PROPERTY DESTRUCTION
Divband was arrested in January following an investigation by the Intelligence Ministry's Alborz provincial office, according to the judiciary, which accused him of organizing attacks and encouraging others to destroy public property.
Authorities alleged that Divband, 30, who owned an automotive repair business, had recruited employees and relatives to participate in the demonstrations.
However,
denial ain't just a river in Egypt... information published by IranWire on Friday, citing an Iranian committee monitoring the detention of protesters, revealed that several members of Divband's family had also been arrested during the January crackdown.
They included his 29-year-old relative Ali-Asghar Divband, 15-year-old Ali-Akbar Divband, and his 50-year-old father, Mohammad-Ali Divband. Another relative, Hamidreza Forouhar, 20, was also detained.
Their current circumstances remain unclear, with no independently verified information available concerning their charges or whether they remain in jug.
Zanganeh, 27, had previously been sentenced to death on accusations of cooperating with Israel's Mosssd ...sees all, knows all, gets 'em all in the end... intelligence agency, according to the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights.
Hengaw reported in August that Zanganeh, a recently married automotive technician specializing in foreign vehicles, was arrested at his workplace in April and later held at Ghezel Hesar Prison.
People close to him rejected the espionage allegations, saying they believed the accusations arose from his work repairing imported vehicles and previous business-related travel abroad.
The organization reported that his death sentence had been issued by the same Revolutionary Court in Karaj, while other rights groups subsequently warned that he had been transferred to solitary confinement.
EIGHT OTHER IRANIAN DEFENDANTS RECEIVE PRISON SENTENCES
The judiciary said eight other defendants in the Karaj case had received prison sentences ranging from five to ten years.
The executions come amid continued concern over the Islamic Theocratic Republic's use of legislation introduced in 2025 that increased punishments for espionage and cooperation with Israel and other countries designated as hostile, as well as the use of execution on protesters from January’s demonstrations.
The legislation, accelerated following the Twelve Day War in June 2025 war between Israel and Iran, expanded the range of national security offenses punishable by death.
Human Rights Watch and the Abdorrahman Boroumand Center for Human Rights in Iran warned in September that the law was being used against protesters accused of acting on behalf of foreign governments, often without evidence establishing any genuine espionage activities.
Their investigation examined 29 executions linked to the January protests between March and August, finding that 16 of the cases involved no allegation that the defendants had killed anyone.
The organizations documented proceedings marked by allegations of torture, coerced confessions, restricted access to legal representation, and trials that sometimes concluded within weeks of an arrest.
"The authorities' message is clearly that protests will be met with brutality," Bahar Saba, senior Iran researcher at Human Rights Watch, said at the time.
SCALE OF IRANIAN EXECUTIONS RAISE INTERNATIONAL CONCERN
The scale of the executions has continued to raise international concern.
An October investigation by Iran International identified at least 70 executions in political and security cases between January 7 and October 5, including 35 connected to the January protests. The investigation also identified 194 people facing death sentences in political and security cases, 113 of whom had been arrested in connection with the protests.
Separately, the Norway-based Iran Human Rights organization reported on November 3 that it had documented at least 691 executions across all criminal categories during the first ten months of 2026, including 77 in October alone.
The organization cautioned that the figures represented verified cases and that the actual number of executions could be considerably higher, given the restrictions on independent reporting and information from inside Iranian prisons.
Sunday's executions add to the number of protesters put to death since the authorities suppressed the demonstrations that began in late December 2025, with human rights When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... organizations warning that scores of other detainees remain at risk of execution.
[CENTCOM] U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces disabled a commercial vessel in the Gulf of Oman, Nov. 7, after the ship’s civilian crew ignored repeated warnings and attempted to violate the naval blockade against Iran multiple times.
A U.S. military aircraft fired precision munitions at the stern of St. Kitts-flagged M/V Huda, disabling the ship after CENTCOM forces directed the crew to abandon targeted spaces. The cargo vessel tried to depart regional waters after visiting an Iranian port.
CENTCOM continues to strictly enforce America’s naval blockade against Iran. Enforcement actions since July have resulted in U.S. forces redirecting 147 commercial vessels that complied and disabled five merchant ships that refused to comply.
Additionally, CENTCOM has previously destroyed another 10 Iranian commercial oil tankers that were part of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps’ multibillion-dollar shadow network.
All mariners transiting near Iranian coastal areas or surrounding waters are advised to heed blockade warnings from U.S. forces.
🇺🇸 CENTCOM LAUNCHES TASK FORCE IRON GATE TO BLOCK IRANIAN WEAPONS AND ILLICIT SHIPMENTS
CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper ordered the creation of a Tampa-based task force to disrupt Iranian weapons shipments, sanctioned materials, dual-use technologies, and illicit revenue moving across Iran’s land borders and the Caspian Sea.
Cooper declared:
“The establishment of Task Force Iron Gate reinforces the success of our ironclad blockade against Iran at sea.”
“Strengthening CENTCOM’s collaboration with U.S. interagency partners will further constrain Iran’s ability to finance terrorism, rebuild weapons factories, and replenish their military.”
CENTCOM reports the U.S. naval blockade has prevented Iran from exporting more than $25 BILLION in crude oil in recent months. Maritime enforcement continues.

External involvement (assistance to the Iranian regime) by our adversaries has been the open secret for months. "Iron Gate" should have been initiated on day one of the conflict.
[Rudaw] An Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) militiaman was killed on Friday night as US President Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... confirmed that American forces had carried out a second strike on Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence.

They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... in a week, saying they conduct "minor strikes" targeting anti-aircraft systems.
"Mehdi Mohammadzadeh, a Basij member serving with the Imam Hussein Battalion in Sari County, died late today [late Friday] while carrying out an assigned mission in an operational area in southern Iran," Iran’s state-run IRIB news agency reported Saturday, citing a statement issued by the IRGC’s Karbala Corps in Mazandaran province.
The latest strikes mark the second US attack in a week on Iran’s Qeshm Island, in the Strait of Hormuz off Hormuzgan province. Trump has confirmed both attacks, saying US forces carry out "minor strikes."
"They built a little bit of an anti-aircraft device, and we knocked it out in about 15 minutes, maybe five," Trump told news hounds on Saturday when asked whether the US had carried out strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island.
According to the IRGC, the militiaman was killed while members of the 25th Karbala Special Division and other forces from Mazandaran province were "protecting Iran’s security along the strategic coastlines of the Strait of Hormuz."
Citing an unnamed source, IRIB reported "two explosions were heard in the area of Suza, Qeshm Island of Hormuzgan province."
Following that report in another statement Iran’s Army said "an MQ-9 drone belonging to the US was struck and destroyed in the skies over Qeshm by the fire of advanced systems operated by the Army’s Air Defense Force, under the country’s integrated air defense network," reported IRIB.
"Over the past week or two, we have brought seven MQM-170 reconnaissance drones down safely and intact. This is nothing short of our technological superiority over the enemy," said the IRGC spokesperson on Saturday.
The latest strikes come amid continuing tensions between Washington and Tehran following the war launched by the United States and Israel against Iran on February 28, which killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei ...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...> and targeted the country's military and nuclear facilities. Iran retaliated by attacking Israel, US military bases and targets in neighbouring countries, while restricting shipping through the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
The Strait of Hormuz, through which around a fifth of global oil supplies passed before the war, has become a major flashpoint in the conflict, with Iranian attacks on commercial shipping prompting repeated US military responses.
The latest escalation also comes amid renewed diplomatic efforts to end the conflict, with Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... mediating between Washington and Tehran. However,
it's easy to be generous with someone else's money... major differences remain over Iran's nuclear programme, sanctions relief and the reopening of the strategic waterway.
The US Treasury Department on Friday announced sanctions against eight Canada-based money services businesses accused of helping Iran and entities linked to the IRGC evade American sanctions. The Treasury said the companies facilitated the conversion of Iranian rials and other currencies into digital assets, including transactions involving sanctioned Iranian cryptocurrency exchanges and digital wallets associated with the IRGC.
The sanctions are part of Washington's Operation Economic Outcast, launched in August to disrupt financial networks supporting Tehran and the IRGC.
