US Navy loses $60 million jet at sea after it fell overboard from aircraft carrier
WASHINGTON — A US Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet has been lost at sea after it fell overboard from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier while it was being towed on board, the Navy said in a statement on Monday.A US official said initial reports from the scene indicated the Truman made a hard turn to evade Houthi fire, which contributed to the fighter jet falling overboard. Yemen’s Houthi rebels claimed on Monday to have launched a drone and missile attack on the aircraft carrier, which is in the Red Sea as part of the US military’s major operation against the Iran-backed group.US Navy carriers – the world’s largest warships at nearly 1,100 feet long and with a displacement of almost 100,000 tons – are surprisingly maneuverable for their size.Powered by two nuclear...

Israel spy chief to step down after row with Netanyahu exposes deepening rifts
JERUSALEM — The head of Israel's Shin Bet domestic intelligence agency has resigned.Ronen Bar made the announcement that he would leave his position on 15 June at a memorial event for Shin Bet members who have died in service.It came after he had been engaged in a fierce trading of recriminations with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who dismissed him last month. A challenge to the Supreme Court by the attorney general and the opposition had put the move on hold.Ronen Bar said he had chosen to announce his resignation on an evening that, in his words, symbolized "remembrance, heroism and sacrifice".He said every public servant who failed to stop the Hamas-led attacks on Israel on 7 October 2023, which triggered the Gaza war, needed to bow their heads "humbly before...

ICJ begins hearings on Israel's humanitarian obligations to Palestinians
THE HAGUE — The UN's highest court has begun a week of hearings into Israel's obligation to "ensure and facilitate" humanitarian assistance to Palestinian civilians in the occupied territories and particularly in Gaza.The hearings come in response to a resolution passed last year by the UN General Assembly asking the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to weigh in on Israel's legal responsibilities after the country blocked UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, from operating on its territory.The hearings opened as the humanitarian aid system in Gaza is nearing collapse. The UN legal team was the first to address the court on Monday, followed by Palestinian representatives.The World Food Program said last week its food stocks in Gaza have run out, ending a...

Rescuers carry an injured African migrant after a strike hit a detention centre hosting African migrants, in Saada, Yemen, on April 28, 2025
Yemen’s Houthis claim dozens killed in US strike on prison holding African migrants
DUBAI — A US airstrike hit a prison holding African migrants in Yemen, killing at least 68 people and wounding 47 others, the Associated Press reported quoting the Houthi rebels on Monday.The strike in Yemen’s Saada governorate, a stronghold for the Houthis, is the latest incident in the country’s decadelong war to kill African migrants from Ethiopia and other nations who risk crossing the nation for a chance to work in neighboring Saudi Arabia.It also likely will renew questions from activists about the American campaign, known as “Operation Rough Rider,” which has been targeting the rebels as the Trump administration negotiates with their main benefactor, Iran, over Tehran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program.The US military’s Central Command, in a statement early Monday...

Eight hundred Houthi targets hit after weeks of strikes, says US
WASHINGTON — The US military says it has hit more than 800 targets since launching sustained air and naval strikes against the Houthi movement in Yemen on 15 March. In a statement on Sunday summarizing recent operations, US Central Command said it had "killed hundreds of Houthi fighters and numerous Houthi leaders". Washington has said it is acting to end the threat the Iran-backed Houthis pose to shipping in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. In Yemen, the Houthis — who control large swathes of the country — said the latest US attack on the capital Sanaa on Sunday killed at least eight people, including women and children. Earlier this month, the Houthi-run health ministry said US air strikes on a Red Sea coast controlled by the Houthis killed at least 74 people...

Israeli strikes hit Beirut for the third time since November ceasefire
BEIRUT — Israel has bombed the southern suburbs of Beirut for the third time since a ceasefire with the Lebanese group Hezbollah took effect at the end of November last year.About an hour before the strike, Israel issued a warning stating that it was targeting Hezbollah facilities in the Hadath area and urged local residents to stay at least 300 metres away from the site.Two warning strikes followed. There have not yet been any reports of casualties.Before the strikes, fighter jets were heard over parts of the Lebanese capital near the Al-Jamous neighborhood. Shots were fired into the air to warn residents to leave the area as families fled in panic.During the last Israel-Hezbollah war, Israeli drones and fighter jets frequently hit the southern suburbs, where Hezbollah has strong...

Israeli strikes on Gaza continue as food supply dwindles amid blockade
GAZA — Hospitals in the Gaza Strip received the remains of 51 Palestinians over the past 24 hours who were killed in Israeli strikes, the health officials in the enclave said on Sunday.In recent weeks, multiple attacks have targeted shelters and what were once designated humanitarian zones where thousands of displaced people live in tents.Since 18 March, when Israel ended a six-week ceasefire with Hamas, the Israeli military has carried out daily waves of strikes and ground forces have occupied more land to expand a buffer zone, controlling around 50% of the territory.For nearly 60 days, Israel has also blocked the entry of all food, fuel, medicine and other items to Gaza.On Friday, the World Food Programme announced it had delivered its last food stocks to the 47 kitchens it supports....

Iran and US to resume high-stakes talks in Oman on Saturday to revive nuclear deal
BRUSSELS — Negotiations between Iran and the United States over Tehran's rapidly advancing nuclear programme are set to resume on Saturday in the Omani capital Muscat, where technical experts from both sides will attempt to iron out the details of a potential agreement.The discussions aim to curb Iran's nuclear activities in exchange for lifting economic sanctions the US has imposed on the country during nearly half a century of hostilities.US President Donald Trump has repeatedly warned he may order airstrikes against Iran's nuclear facilities if a deal is not achieved, while Iranian officials increasingly hint they could pursue nuclear weapons capability with their growing stockpile of near-weapons-grade uranium.Neither Tehran nor Washington has explained the return to...

Israeli military admits its troops killed UN worker in Gaza Strip
TEL AVIV — Israel's military has admitted killing a United Nations (UN) worker with tank fire, having previously denied responsibility, in an incident in the Gaza Strip last month.After a UN staff member was killed when a UN compound in Deir al-Balah was damaged on 19 March, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it had not struck the site.But the IDF said on Thursday that the initial findings of its investigation into the incident indicated its troops had in fact killed the UN worker after wrongly identifying the building as containing an "enemy presence".It said in a statement: "The building was struck due to assessed enemy presence and was not identified by the forces as a UN facility."These preliminary findings have been shared with the UN and the full...
