Saudi Arabia Reports Drone Attack on Riyadh Airport

Translated & summarized from Abu Ali Express by baba
The story · English

Saudi Arabia's King Khalid International Airport in the capital, Riyadh, was reportedly hit by a drone attack, causing smoke to rise from the scene. The exact extent of the damage and any potential casualties were not immediately clear.

This incident follows a statement from the Pakistani army spokesperson indicating that Pakistani troops are present in Saudi Arabia. Additionally, Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary, Hossein Marashi, commented on the situation, though the specifics of his remarks regarding Saudi Arabia were not detailed in the provided text.

In other regional news, Hezbollah is reportedly using Israel's Galei Tzahal (Army Radio) to shape a narrative absolving itself of responsibility for an explosive device that injured IDF soldiers in Lebanon. This comes two years after the last speech by Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah.

Separately, Turkish drone manufacturer Skydagger released a promotional video depicting its explosive drones targeting an Israeli Merkava tank. The start of the school year in the Gaza Strip was also noted.

In Israeli domestic news, President Isaac Herzog granted Defense Minister Israel Katz's request to cancel the criminal record of Elor Azaria, a decision made contrary to the IDF's position. In a swift operation, IDF soldiers and the Shin Bet apprehended terrorists responsible for starting a fire in the Samaria Brigade area.
