Holocaust survivor questioned by police over Gaza protest says he will continue to march


An 87-year-old Holocaust survivor has been questioned by police after he laid flowers at Trafalgar Square during a Gaza protest to commemorate the tens of thousands of Palestinians killed by Israel.

Stephen Kapos, 87, was interviewed by the Metropolitan Police on Friday about the pro-Palestine protest that happened on 18 January in central London – a demonstration the force faced accusations of “repressive and heavy-handed policing” over at the time.


US military continues attacks on Yemen

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) has posted two videos of fighter jets taking off from an aircraft carrier during the day and at night.

The post, which simply said “24/7” and “#HouthisAreTerrorists”, comes as Yemeni media reported renewed attacks on the Red Sea port of Hodeidah.

The US has killed at least 32 people in Yemen since it launched attacks on Yemen a week ago. The campaign comes after Houthis threatened to resume attacks on Israeli- and US-linked ships over Israel’s total blockade of the Gaza Strip, which began on March 2.
