Lebanese authorities stopped a truck transporting roughly 800 kilograms of explosives from the Baalbek area toward Beirut. The shipment allegedly included nails and metal balls, and two suspected Hezbollah members were detained for questioning.
According to Lebanese media reports, the drivers told investigators that a senior Hezbollah operative known as Sayyed Sajjad had directed them to transport the materials to another high-ranking group member in Beirut’s Dahiyeh neighborhood. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities work to determine who else may have been involved.
Reports emerged of a major Houthi attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday, with Terminal 3 struck, triggering an evacuation and leaving several people injured.
Accounts of the casualties have differed. The Financial Times, citing Saudi sources, reported that at least 50 people were hospitalized, while The New York Times reported 12 fatalities and 50 injuries. Saudi aviation authorities reportedly confirmed that the airport came under attack on October 10. Airport operations were temporarily halted as officials examined the damage.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Saudi officials are increasingly worried that further attacks could undermine the kingdom’s economic ambitions, deter tourists and business travelers, and strain its supply of missile interceptors. This will hopefully be the end of the Houthi regime once and for all, as multiple countries will likely join in the response attack.

A report by Israeli outlet Maariv said Washington had pressed Israel in recent discussions to carry out a solo strike against Iran instead of pursuing a joint operation with the United States. The reported push came amid concerns that Tehran was rebuilding its drone and ballistic missile manufacturing capabilities despite earlier American and Israeli attacks.
The report also suggested that U.S. officials wanted Israel to assume responsibility for the political fallout of any new military action ahead of the American midterm elections. An attack could create political difficulties for President Donald Trump while potentially benefiting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of Israel’s elections, according to the report.
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir reportedly cautioned American officials that a new strike could require Israel to postpone its elections. Maariv reported that the United States has since withdrawn the request for now.
The IDF announced Friday that it had carried out an aerial strike against Yusuf Ali Al-Hassoun near the Syria-Lebanon border, identifying him as a terrorist operating under Iranian direction.
According to the military, Al-Hassoun had been involved in planning attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers stationed in southern Syria. The IDF said several attempted operations over the past year, including attacks involving explosive drones and rockets targeting Israeli troops, had been thwarted.
The military reiterated that it would continue taking action against what it described as immediate threats to Israeli forces and civilians across the region.
The IDF also reported a series of strikes against Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives in Gaza over a 24-hour period.
In Gaza City, Israeli forces targeted a gathering of Hamas Nukhba operatives. The military said several members of Hamas’ military wing were killed, including Muad Mazen Hamza Hassouna and Muhammad Riyad Khader Arahim.
In a separate operation in the Tuffah neighborhood of northern Gaza, the IDF announced the killing of Muhammad Walid Saadi Nakhala, whom it identified as the commander of Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s anti-tank unit.
The strikes form part of Israel’s ongoing military campaign against armed groups and their operational capabilities in Gaza and elsewhere in the region.
