Yemen’s Houthis claim four drone attacks on Israel
We reported earlier that Israel claimed to have shot down a drone launched from Yemen before it entered its airspace.
Now, the armed group that controls swathes of Yemen has said in a statement that four of its drones carried out four military operations against Israel.
The Houthi group said the targets included Israel’s General Staff building in the Yaffa area, south of Tel Aviv, a power station, Ben Gurion Airport and the port of Ashdod.
“They have successfully hit their targets,” the group said of the drones, adding that a separate attack involving a Houthi missile and drones targeted a ship in the Red Sea, MSC ABY, “for violating the ban decision of entry to the ports of occupied Palestine and its connection to the Israeli enemy”.
The ship was directly hit, the Houthis claimed.
There was no confirmation of the attacks by Israel.
Israel holds record number of Palestinian children without charge or trial, rights group says
Data from the Israel Prison Service (IPS) shows 360 Palestinian children were detained as of June 30, the highest figure since 2016.
Forty-one percent of the children are held under administrative detention – imprisonment without charge or trial – the highest number and proportion since DCIP began monitoring in 2008
“Every month since October 2023, Israeli forces have rapidly expanded their use of administrative detention to target Palestinian children,” said Ayed Abu Eqtaish, accountability program director at DCIP.
“These children are languishing in overcrowded Israeli prisons, fed rotten food, and beaten on a daily basis by Israeli guards, all while they are completely isolated from the outside world, including from their families and lawyers. They must all be released immediately.”
IPS delayed publishing second-quarter data by more than two months. Since October 2023, Israel has suspended family visits, blocked Red Cross access, and sharply restricted lawyers.
DCIP said children also face torture and degrading conditions in military facilities excluded from IPS data, such as Huwara and Sde Teiman.
