Israel will send draft notices to 54,000 yeshiva Orthodox students and toughen penalties for draft dodgers, reported Reuters over the weekend. The move follows a Supreme Court ruling that ended long-standing military exemptions for ultra-Orthodox men. Around 300 prison slots are being prepared for evaders, and a new police unit will enforce conscription.

Israel announced attack on Yemen, hitting the ports of Hodeidah, Ras Issa, and Salif, and to the Hodeidah - Ras Al-Khateeb power station. The attack hit over 60 targets.

In Gaza, the Israeli Army told political leaders that achieving war goals is currently “impossible”. The army believes the priority should be returning the Israeli hostages in Gaza first, reported Israeli Army Radio.

Israeli official source told Axios -- "There aren't many senior Hamas officials left in Gaza. We are not going to need a big ship to send them to exile — even a small dinghy will do. Israel demands the dismantling of Hamas' military wing but is willing to consider granting amnesty for hundreds of militants if they lay down their arms."

Israeli Defense Minister Katz declared, "Yemen's law is the same as Tehran's. As part of Operation "Black Flag," the IDF is now vigorously attacking terrorist targets of the Houthi terrorist regime in the ports of Hodeidah, A-Salif, and Ras Issa, the Ras Qatib power plant, and the ship "Galaxy Leader," which was hijacked by the Houthis about two years ago and is currently being used for terrorist activities in the Red Sea."

Katz has also instructed the IDF to prepare for another round of strikes on Iran, to prevent reconstruction of its nuclear and air defense capabilities.
