Israeli Bombardments and Strikes in Yemen Escalate Regional Tensions
    Uncategorized

More than 30 Palestinians, including young children, were killed in Israeli bombardments overnight into Saturday in the Gaza Strip, officials said even as a new US strike against Iran-backed rebels in Yemen heightened fears that the crisis could escalate into a regional conflict. A top UN official said Saturday that the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza was staining humanity, as the conflict in the besieged territory moves into its 100th day. Lazzarini condemned the ‘horrific attacks’ that Hamas and other groups launched on October 7, which resulted in the deaths of 1,140 people, mostly civilians. US and British forces fired more than 150 missiles and bombs at several dozen targets in Yemen, chosen specifically to damage the Houthis’ ability to imperil shipping — weapons storage areas, radars, and missile and drone launch sites — US officials said. In Gaza, the war continued unabated. The Gaza health ministry said Saturday that 135 Palestinians were killed in the last 24 hours, bringing the overall toll of the war to 23,843. The total number of war-wounded surpassed 60,000.
