One killed in Israeli air strikes on south Lebanon
At least one person has been killed in Israeli attacks on multiple locations across southern Lebanon despite a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
An Israeli drone strike on the outskirts of the border village of Hula killed one person, the Lebanese Health Ministry said in a statement. In two other incidents near the border, three people were wounded.
On Sunday, two people, including a Lebanese soldier, were wounded in an Israeli strike, the army said.
The Israeli military said it launched a strike against a Hezbollah member and was not operating against the Lebanese army.
Israel has continued attacks on its neighbour despite the November 27 truce that sought to halt more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah, including two months of full-blown war.
Yemen’s Houthis announce ‘maritime blockade’ on Israel’s Haifa port
Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis have announced what they called a “maritime blockade” on Israel’s Port of Haifa in response to Israel’s ongoing escalation in Gaza.
“All companies with ships present in or heading to this port are hereby notified that, as of the time of this announcement, the aforementioned port has been included in the list of targets,” the group’s spokesperson, Yahya Saree, said in a televised address.
The Houthis have continued to fire missiles at Israel, including at Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv, in what they say is solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, although they have agreed to halt attacks on US ships.
The missiles launched by the group at Israel were mostly intercepted.
