US again carries out air strikes on Houthi targets
The US military has again carried out air strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen. It concerns fourteen missiles that the Houthis wanted to fire at ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. Since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas, the Houthis have carried out dozens of rocket attacks in the area.
Earlier on Wednesday, a cargo ship was hit by an unmanned drone attack in the Gulf of Aden, possibly carried out by the Houthis. That happened shortly after the United States designated the Houthis as a global terrorist organization.
Aid for hostages and civilians arrives in Gaza
Aid supplies for aid workers and Israeli hostages have arrived in the Gaza Strip. This was announced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qatar. The goods, including medicines for hostages, arrived in Egypt yesterday and were taken to Gaza after inspection by Israel.
The delivery of relief supplies and medicine was achieved thanks to the mediation of Qatar and France. On board were medical supplies for 45 of the 132 hostages that Israel says are still being held by Hamas. This would allow them to be treated for their chronic diseases for three months. In return, relief supplies are also distributed to Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
