UK RAF Voyager to support Saudis with "defensive" operations
The UK Defence Secretary @wesstreeting has confirmed that a single RAF A330-MRTT "Voyager" KC.2 tanker @DefenceHQ will support defensive operations for Saudi Arabia currently fighting the Iran-backed Houthi group in Yemen.
I've detailed below the Royal Saudi Air Force's fast-jets and force-multipliers (AWACS, Tankers, UAVs, etc)
It is important to note, the RAF "Voyager" KC.2 does not have a boom for aerial refuelling, using underwing pods, meaning the only jets the Saudis operate that it can refuel are the Eurofighter "Typhoon" and Panavia "Tornado" jets - however given the explicitly-stated "defensive" nature of this support, that rules out the "Tornado" jets as they are the "IDS" (strike) variant, not the air defence variant.
It seems therefore that the current plan will be for the single "Voyager" KC.2 to fly…

RAF Begins Supporting Saudi Air Defence?
Royal Air Force A330-MRTT "Voyager" KC.2 airframe ZZ333 has departed RAF Akrotiri (LCRA) earlier this morning and is routing south over the Red Sea towards Jeddah, following UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham's announcement that the UK would provide a tanker to support "defensive" operations against the Houthis in Yemen. It will most likely refuel the Eurofighter "Typhoon" jets operated by the Royal Saudi Air Force, which are based at King Fahd Airbase (OETF) near to Jeddah.

The circumstances of the incident are under further investigation, the military says.

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇸🇦🇦🇪 Saudi Arabia and the UAE are urging the Trump administration to maintain economic pressure on Iran and reject concessions that would ease U.S. sanctions or the naval blockade, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman recently told U.S. officials that the blockade should remain until Iran is compelled to sign a new agreement.
The position marks a shift from earlier in the war, when Gulf states led by Saudi Arabia pushed for negotiations and were willing to consider an agreement recognizing some Iranian influence over the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian attacks on Saudi shipping and renewed Houthi pressure on the Kingdom’s Red Sea route have since hardened Riyadh’s position.
Oman and Qatar continue to push for negotiations and a phased reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. -@WSJ

Two Hamas operatives, including a terrorist who invaded Israel on October 7, 2023, and held hostages in captivity, were killed in Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip earlier this week, the military announces.
A strike on Wednesday in Gaza City killed Hassan Mahmoud Siam, identified by the military as a Hamas commander who invaded Israel during the October 7 onslaught.
During the war, Siam was also involved in holding hostages Amit Soussana, Keith and Aviva Siegel, and Dafna Elyakim in captivity, the military says.
A separate strike in Gaza City on Tuesday killed Adham Sohbi Salim Ziara, also a Hamas member, the army says.
The IDF says both operatives had been advancing attacks and restoring Hamas infrastructure "in systematic violation of the ceasefire agreement."
"As part of these efforts, the terrorists were involved in plans to fire at our forces and in planting explosive devices in the area of the Yellow Line," the IDF says, adding that they were killed "to remove the threat."

در حملهای که روز چهارشنبه در شهر غزه انجام شد، حسن محمود صیام کشته شد؛ ارتش او را یکی از فرماندهان حماس معرفی کرد که در جریان یورش ۷ اکتبر به اسرائیل حمله کرده بود.
ارتش میگوید صیام در طول جنگ همچنین در اسارت نگه داشتن گروگانها، آمیت سوسانا، کیت و آویوا سیگل و دافنا الیاکیم، نقش داشت.
ارتش میگوید در حملهای جداگانه در روز سهشنبه در شهر غزه، ادهم صبحی سلیم زیاره، یکی دیگر از اعضای حماس، کشته شد.
ارتش دفاعی اسرائیل میگوید هر دو عامل در حال تدارک حملات و بازسازی زیرساختهای حماس بودند و این اقدامات را «در نقض نظاممند توافق آتشبس» انجام میدادند.
ارتش دفاعی اسرائیل میگوید: «در چارچوب این تلاشها، این تروریستها در طرحهایی برای تیراندازی به نیروهای ما و کار گذاشتن مواد منفجره در محدوده خط زرد نقش داشتند.» ارتش افزود که آنها «برای رفع تهدید» کشته شدند.
