Rescue workers hear sounds of trapped babies, children under rubble after Israeli attacks

There is no end to the Israeli military operations nor their air strikes and the nonstop bombardment campaign that has been widely seen as intensifying over the course of the past 24 hours.

It is understood that Israel is deliberately and squarely targeting heavily built-up residential areas that have been flattened and decimated with no prior warning for them or the Palestinian civilians to flee the area.

Many Palestinians have been caught under the rubble of their destroyed homes.

We have heard very horrific testimonies from civil defence crews saying that while they were rescuing Palestinians trapped under their destroyed homes, they were hearing the sounds of babies and the sound of children crying for help and shouting for any sort of rescue.

Pentagon bolsters presence in Middle East with two carriers

The USS Carl Vinson – which is armed with F-35C stealth warplanes – is now working alongside the USS Harry S Truman in the region, US Central Command says.

The post featured side-by-side video clips of fighter aircraft taking off from the two ships.

The Pentagon announced last week it’s increasing the number of US carriers in the Middle East to two after launching an air campaign against the Yemeni rebel group, the Houthis, in March.

The intense air strikes have targeted the Houthis over their attacks on shipping in the Red Sea. The Yemeni group has been carrying out attacks in solidarity with Palestinians during Israel’s war on Gaza.

Dozens of people in Yemen have been killed. Civilians have been targeted, families wiped out, military sites destroyed and soldiers killed.
