US President Donald Trump has reiterated his position that Iran must never be allowed to develop nuclear weapons.

“We obliterated Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity with Operation Midnight Hammer and Operation Epic Fury,” he said, referring to military operations in 2025 and then this February to May.

“We defeated them militarily, financially, and otherwise. We have to make sure that they never, ever have a nuclear weapon,” Trump added.

Israel has said it would close all land crossings with the occupied West Bank on election day.

"The political echelon approved a ban on the entry and exit of Palestinian workers throughout Judea and Samaria and the Jordan Valley, including industrial zones, as well as the closure of all land crossings throughout Election Day (Tuesday), October 27, 2026," the Israeli Army posted on Telegram.

Israeli forces turned Palestinian homes into barracks and observation posts after forcing residents to leave the city of Hebron on Saturday, day two of a military assault in the southern occupied West Bank, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

Troops took over homes in the Khallat Manna and Dahiyat al-Zaytoun areas of southern Hebron to be used as barracks, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported, citing sources.

They also forced residents from homes in other neighbourhoods and used the properties as observation posts, sources said.

US president questions whether Tehran would honour an agreement, saying his aim is to ensure Iran can never develop a nuclear weapon as he weighs new strikes.

The Yemeni army has said that its forces had “neutralised” 307 Houthi militia members in 736 operations during the last 24 hours, destroying or damaging 68 military vehicles and weapons.

It said the operations targeted command centres, troop concentrations, reinforcements, weapons depots, and supply routes under the “Dawn of Yemen” offensive.

The army did not specify how many Houthi militia were killed or wounded.

Coalition forces intercepted and destroyed a drone over Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh region, spokesperson Colonel Turki al-Maliki said in a brief statement on X.

Yemen’s Houthi militia has previously launched drone and missile attacks against Saudi Arabia.

US President Donald Trump has said Washington could strike Iran as soon as “tomorrow,” or reach a “big, beautiful” agreement with Tehran, amid reports that he is weighing renewed attacks on Tehran.

“We’re thinking about doing it, and maybe tomorrow,” Trump told reporters when asked how far along he was in considering a possible attack.

“I may have to finish it off, or maybe they’ll make a deal,” Trump said.

King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh has said that, starting October 25, Terminal 1 would be designated for domestic flights and Terminal 2 for international flights operated by national carriers, after operations were halted following an attack by Houthi militias.

The Israeli army has raised its alert to the highest level and deployed tens of thousands of troops across several areas in preparation for possible “threats”, including missile launches from Iran or Lebanon, three days before the October 27 parliamentary elections, public broadcaster KAN reported.

The broadcaster said the army raised its readiness “to the highest level” ahead of the vote, deploying troops along the borders and across several fronts, including Gaza, Lebanon, the occupied West Bank and areas surrounding occupied East Jerusalem.
