Israel launches strikes on Yemen a day after Houthi strike near Tel Aviv airport
SANAA — At least one person was killed and 35 more wounded after a wave of Israeli airstrikes hit Yemen's Red Sea province of Hodeida, according to the area's Houthi-run health ministry.The strikes came a day after the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen launched a missile that hit Israel’s main airport.On Sunday, the Houthis — who claim they are targeting Israel in support of Palestinians — launched a missile from Yemen that struck an access road near Israel's main airport, Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion, injuring four people.This is the first time a Houthi missile has come anywhere near Tel Aviv's urban area since the start of the Israel-Hamas war on 7 October 2023. The rockets from Yemen have mostly been intercepted, although some have penetrated Israel’s missile...

Hamas says 'no point' to talks as Israel plans expanded Gaza offensive
GAZA — A senior Hamas official has said there is "no point" in further talks on a new Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal after Israel said it would expand its ground offensive and occupy Gaza indefinitely.Bassem Naim told the BBC the Palestinian armed group would not engage with new proposals while Israel continued what he called its "starvation war".Israel says its objective is the return of hostages still held by Hamas and its "dismantling and decisive defeat".Israeli officials said on Monday that the plans involved displacing the majority of Gaza's 2.1 million population, seizing all of the territory, and taking control of humanitarian aid after a two-month blockade.They also said the offensive would not begin until after US President Donald...

Israel vows to escalate war with new plan to ‘conquer’ Gaza
JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the population of Gaza will be displaced to the south after his security cabinet approved an expanded military operation in the enclave that a minister described as a plan to “conquer” the territory.The vote on Sunday came hours after the military said it would mobilize tens of thousands of reservists, strengthening its capacity to operate in the besieged Palestinian territory.“One thing will be clear: there will be no in-and-out,” Netanyahu said in a Monday video message posted on X. “We’ll call up reserves to come, hold territory — we’re not going to enter and then exit the area, only to carry out raids afterward. That’s not the plan. The intention is the opposite.”“There will be a movement of the...

Israel approves Gaza ‘conquest’ plan
JERUSALEM — Israel’s security cabinet voted Sunday to expand military operations in Gaza and approve a new framework for aid delivery, according to two Israeli officials, one of whom described the plan as involving the “conquest” of enclave.The vote came hours after the military said it would mobilize tens of thousands of reservists, strengthening its capacity to operate in the besieged Palestinian territory.One of the Israeli officials said the new plan for Israel’s war in Gaza involves “the conquest of territory and remaining there.” The Israeli military will displace the Palestinian population to southern Gaza while carrying out “powerful strikes” against Hamas, the official said.Over 2,400 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since mid-March when Israel launched a...

Hamas executes Palestinians for looting as desperation grows under Israeli blockade
GAZA — Hamas has executed six Palestinians in Gaza and shot 13 others in the legs for alleged looting, the militant group said in a statement, as desperation grows under a complete Israeli blockade that has now entered its third month.In a statement issued Friday, Hamas said it would carry out more executions against “every criminal we can reach in the next two days.”Since last week, armed gangs have increasingly taken to the streets of Gaza City, going after some of the remaining food supplies and challenging Hamas’ control of the territory, according to CNN journalists in Gaza. Hamas claims some of these “criminal gangs” are collaborating with Israel.“A warning has been issued — those who ignore it bear full responsibility,” Hamas said in the statement.The executions...

Failure to intercept Houthi missile exposes Israel’s vulnerabilities and limits of US campaign
JERUSALEM — A failed interception of a missile fired from Yemen forced Israel to briefly shut down its main international airport on Sunday, exposing the country’s vulnerabilities and the Houthi rebels’ continued ability to strike distant targets despite a sustained US military campaign.Flights were halted at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv for about 30 minutes on Sunday morning after a missile landed in the airport’s vicinity, following what the Israeli military said were “several attempts” at interception. “The results of the interception are under review,” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said.The military fired its long-range Arrow interceptor at the incoming missile, an IDF spokesperson said. The US also has an advanced THAAD anti-missile system deployed in Israel.The...

Aid ship bound for Gaza catches fire after alleged drone attack off Malta
JERUSALEM — A Gaza-bound activist aid ship caught fire and issued an SOS, after what its organizers claimed was a drone attack off the coast of Malta in international waters in the early hours of Friday.The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), which is campaigning to end Israel’s blockade of Gaza, told CNN activists were aboard its ship carrying humanitarian aid when the alleged attack happened just after midnight local time (6 p.m. ET Thursday).“There is a hole in the vessel right now and the ship is sinking,” Yasemin Acar, the coalition’s press officer, told CNN by phone from Malta on Friday morning.Malta’s government said the ship was carrying 16 people – 12 crew members and four civilian passengers. But FFC earlier gave CNN a higher figure of 30 people on board the...

Anera's community kitchens in Khan Younis feeds some 6,000 people each day
Gaza kitchens warn food will run out in days after two months of Israeli blockade
JERUSALEM — A hot meal is hard to come by in the Gaza Strip, but a lunch for needy families in the south is about to be delivered by donkey and cart.Today's dish is koshari — made with lentils, rice and a zesty tomato sauce — in a set of huge cooking pots in one of two community kitchens run by American Near East Refugee Aid (Anera), a US-based humanitarian organisation."People rely on our meals; they have no source of income to buy what's left in the local markets and many foods are not available," says Sami Matar, who leads the Anera team."In the past we used to cook rice with meat — with protein. Now, because of the closure, there's no type of meat, no fresh vegetables."Two months after Israel cut off all supplies from entering Gaza, Matar is...

UN official urges Israel to lift 'cruel' aid blockade on Gaza
GAZA — The United Nations' emergency relief coordinator has urged Israel to lift its blockade of aid into Gaza, saying the halting of humanitarian aid amounts to "cruel collective punishment."The UN said thousands of Palestinians had breached a humanitarian field office in Gaza late on Wednesday looking for aid.They took medicine and damaged vehicles in the melee but caused no injuries to staff.Israel has blocked any humanitarian aid from entering the territory since the end of a ceasefire in March, throwing Gaza into what is believed to be the worst humanitarian crisis in nearly 19 months of war.Israel has said the blockade and its renewed military campaign are intended to pressure Hamas to release the remaining hostages it still holds.Tom Fletcher, the UN...
