Saudi Arabia reported injuries and damage at airports in Najran and Jizan due to missile and drone attacks by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels, amid ongoing fighting in Yemen. Additionally, an unknown projectile struck a tanker near the Strait of Hormuz, and Israeli airstrikes in Gaza killed two people amid rising tensions ahead of Israel's upcoming elections.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face elevated risk of operational disruption if connected to Middle East transport or energy routes as Saudi airports and the Strait of Hormuz become active conflict zones. Security concerns around Israel’s elections add unpredictability that could affect regional stability and market access.
