Rights groups say US strikes on Yemen illegal
DAWN, Action Corps and Just Foreign Policy have released a joint statement arguing that the attacks violate both the US Constitution and the United Nations Charter.
“Congress should stop strikes on Yemen and uphold its sole authority to declare war under Article I of the Constitution and the 1973 War Powers Resolution (WPR),” they said.
“The strikes also violate Chapters I and VII of the United Nations Charter, which prohibit states from launching a war unless in self-defense or authorized by the UN Security Council.”
The US strikes have killed dozens of people across Yemen, including women and children.
Trump has promised that the Houthis will be “completely annihilated” over their attacks on Israel and shipping lanes in the Red Sea in support of Palestinians in Gaza.
U.S. Strikes on Yemen are Unconstitutional and Violate U.N. Charter

Six killed by Israeli strikes in Lebanon: officials
Two more people have been killed in Israeli strikes on Lebanon, bringing today’s total to six, according to the country’s Ministry of Health.
The latest victims were killed in an air strike on the southern town of Baraachit.
Earlier today, Israeli strikes killed four people in the country’s south, according to Lebanese authorities, with Israel claiming that it had struck Hezbollah operatives. Three people were killed by a drone targeting a vehicle in the Yohmor area, while one other was killed when a different drone targeted a vehicle near the village of Maaroub.
Today’s strikes were the latest in a series of deadly attacks in south Lebanon, despite a November ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah after more than a year of hostilities, including two months of open war. Israel has continued to carry out raids in Lebanon since the November 27 ceasefire, striking what it says are Hezbollah military targets that violated the agreement. But most of the victims have been civilians.
