## Summary

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said two oil tankers and a tugboat caught fire in separate incidents in the Strait of Hormuz after attempting to use what it called an “unauthorised route”. South Korea plans to expand its anti-piracy unit’s operations in nearby waters, as the strategic waterway faces heightened security concerns.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog warned of a “highly explosive and dangerous reality” in the occupied West Bank, citing rising settler violence, the olive harvest and upcoming elections. The US sanctioned two people and an entity accused of helping Iran obtain man-portable air-defence systems. In Yemen, a missile strike in Taiz killed four members of one family, including three children; Houthi-affiliated media also reported around 20 deaths in Saudi-led coalition attacks over the previous 24 hours.
