Türkiye and Pakistan will begin a "rapid deployment" of troops to Saudi Arabia as part of a new mutual defense alliance. The three countries announced this today, as Saudi faces an escalation of attacks by Yemen's Houthis. The three countries signed the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement, an agreement which commits them to help each other in the event of attacks.
Loud explosions were heard this evening in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, a country repeatedly targeted in recent times by Yemen's Houthis. The Houthis said they hit the airport and a refinery of the Saudi energy giant Aramco, as well as several sites in the south of the Kingdom.
During last night's Israeli military-political cabinet, Shin Bet chief David Zini presented ministers with a specific and worrying intelligence alert: Hamas is intensifying efforts to mount a complex attack or targeted kidnapping operation. According to assessments, Hamas aims to launch the operation close to the October 27 elections or immediately thereafter. Channel 12 reports.
Yemeni government forces have taken control of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and Dhubab airport, and have cut off the road between Dhubab and Mokha, a military spokesman said, while the government launched a major operation against Houthi forces. Iran International reports it. The Houthis, however, deny it.

the shin bet warns: "hamas ready to attack close to the elections"
In view of the October 27 elections in Israel, the level of alarm linked to the terrorist threat has been raised based on precise intelligence information. On Sunday evening during the political-security cabinet, the head of the Shin Bet, David Zini, communicated a specific and worrying intelligence alert to the ministers. according to information obtained from the internal secret service, "Hamas is intensifying efforts to organize a complex attack or a targeted kidnapping operation" close to the vote or immediately after. the objective is to "generate a strong media impact, disrupt the Israeli political and security agenda, influence the operational situation". Five days after the near tragedy of the FlyDubai plane, the Omani co-pilot Hammam Al-Hammami, who wanted to crash into Tel Aviv, when questioned in the Emirates declared that he wanted to act "to avenge Gaza, I wanted to die as a martyr". the words of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu now resonate, having said just a day earlier: "we have signs that, in view of the vote, our enemies will try to attack us". in the same days it emerged that the IDF is on maximum alert in Gaza where, according to military services, Hamas is planning to kidnap an Israeli soldier for the third anniversary of 7 October. However, the threat does not only come from the strip, where in recent days several armed men were filmed on video while moving from underneath and among the rubble trying to get closer to the security line controlled by the IDF.
