Middle East:

The Houthis have launched another strike, hitting a vessel in the Bab el-Mandeb Straits. The vessel was reportedly damaged enough that the cree evacuated the ship, a relative rarity. Houthi strikes so far have typically done relatively light damage to ships. The United States launched another round of strikes, including a hit on a submersible naval drone. This is reportedly a first, as the attacks on Houthi drones so far have reportedly only targeted surface drones.

Israel has stated that if the remaining hostages are not released, they will commence the Rafah operation at the start of the holy month Ramadan, which begins in just about a month from now. Presumably, this means Israel intends to more or less wrap up their Khan Younis operation within the next month or so. On that point, Israel also declared that Hamas' Khan Younis Brigade to have been defeated. Of course, there are other militias to contend with, as well as the remnants of other Hamas units still present in the area.
