Another already forgotten or rather buried investigation

Seven mass graves discovered so far in Gaza

Three mass graves have been discovered at the al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, with 30 headless bodies among them.

Three mass graves have also been discovered at the Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, and another mass grave at the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza – bringing the total to seven.

The Israeli military says it has done nothing wrong. But exhumations at these sites suggest a harrowing ordeal for Palestinians.


 


Fourteen killed in joint US-UK attacks on Yemen’s Houthis: Report

Fourteen people have been killed and more than 30 injured in US and UK air strikes on Yemen’s Hodeidah province, the Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV reports.

The TV channel reported that the strikes on Thursday targeted a radio building in Hodeidah’s al-Hawak district and the port of as-Salif, Reuters said.

US and UK forces said they launched attacks against Houthi targets as part of ongoing efforts to stop the armed group from carrying out attacks on shipping in the Red Sea. US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement that US and UK forces had hit 13 targets in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.

The UK defence ministry said the joint attack took the “utmost care” in order “to minimise any risk to civilians or non-military infrastructure”.

Houthi fighters in Yemen have carried out months of attacks on shipping in the Red Sea which they say have links to Israel or have frequented Israeli ports. Houthi leaders say the shipping attacks will stop when Israel ends its war on Gaza.

Death toll rises from US-UK attack in Yemen: Report

The death toll from joint US-UK strikes in Yemen has risen to 16, with at least 35 wounded, according to the Houthi-affiliated Al-Masirah TV.

The strikes hit areas in Sanaa, Hodeidah and Taiz, including a building housing Hodeidah Radio, killing civilians, according to the media report.

Unnamed US officials told The Associated Press that the attacks targeted Houthi military sites, including missile launchers and command and control sites. An earlier statement by the UK’s defence ministry said the attacks were carefully designed to “minimise any risk to civilians”.

In a post on X, senior Houthi official Mohammed Abdulsalam, said the attacks amounted to “brutal aggression on Yemen”, which he said was “punishment” for their support of Palestinians in Gaza.

Houthis claim missile attack on US carrier in Red Sea

The missile attack targeted the Eisenhower aircraft carrier, which is currently deployed in the Red Sea, said Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree in a televised statement.

The strike is retaliation to a series of joint US-UK strikes in three Yemeni provinces that killed at least 16 people, according to Saree.
