Israel's airstrikes in Yemen and Lebanon have escalated the Middle East conflict, targeting Hodeidah for Houthi attacks and killing Hamas leader Fateh Sherif Abu el-Amin. The increased tension raises fears of Iranian involvement, potentially disrupting oil supplies. Israeli strikes have resulted in numerous casualties and signal ongoing hostilities.

Singapore’s former top oil trader, Lim Oon Kuin, and his family face a $3.5 billion settlement demand following the collapse of Hin Leong Trading. Lim was convicted of deception and forgery related to lender HSBC. The company overstated profits while incurring significant losses, leading to its liquidation.

Discussions on oil supply disruptions amid Middle East tensions highlight differing opinions. While ANZ analysts see escalating risks, ING’s Warren Patterson believes the market is unaffected, attributing price support to China's economic measures. RBC's Helima Croft warns traders to monitor potential Iranian involvement in the conflict.
