"Following Airstrikes" ... Yemen's Houthis Fire Two Missiles Toward Israel
Earlier that morning, Israeli forces targeted key sites in Al-Hudaydah, Ras Isa, and Al-Salif, including the Ras Kathib power station and a vessel allegedly repurposed for military use by the Houthis. Israeli Defense Minister described the strike as 'a deterrent response to persistent threats against Israeli security.'

Gaza (A Humanitarian Catastrophe UnderThe Dark Reality of Gaza: Genocide, Displacement, and Silence)
As I browse the page of Brian Carlson, a passionate American human rights activist and visual artist, I'm struck by his unwavering commitment to defending human rights. Recently, he has focused his efforts on Gaza, where a genocidal war is being waged by Israel against the defenseless Palestinian people, all under the watchful eyes of the world. Through his art, Carson vividly depicts the horrific crimes against humanity occurring in the region. In a recent post on his Facebook page, he stated: Gaza is engulfed in a resounding humanitarian and moral crisis, raising a fundamental question: Will the United States and Israel escape accountability for what international observers have described as 'the largest documented genocide since World War II'? This question transcends mere moral condemnation; it serves as a crucial test of the international system's credibility and its ability to enforce justice. In the midst of this catastrophic scene, the situation continues to worsen in the absence of any political horizon. With explicit U.S.-Israeli complicity, peace mechanisms are paralyzed, and the humanitarian crisis deepens day by day. Experts warn that the lack of a post-war vision is not negligence but rather part of a systematic strategy to leave the territory in ruins, making it easier to control. Ground data clearly indicates that talk of a 'tactical Israeli withdrawal' is misleading; the heavy military presence continues throughout Gaza, meaning that illegal occupation and complete control over the land persist, effectively constituting a de facto annexation of Palestinian territories under the guise of military operations. At the heart of this tragedy lies a grim image of Gaza's future: Rafah Camp. With countries refusing to accept nearly two million Palestinian refugees, reliable reports indicate plans to establish 'the largest concentration camp in the world' in southern Gaza. The goal is to confine at least 600,000 Palestinians in a small area under strict military control. This is not a 'temporary camp'; it embodies the idea of permanent displacement under the guise of 'shelter,' creating an open prison under the guns of occupation. This reality is reminiscent of historical refugee camps and constitutes a flagrant violation of international law. These developments are not isolated; they form interconnected links in a dangerous political chain. The international community's silence regarding Israel's actions, bolstered by American support, solidifies a culture of impunity that encourages the escalation of violations. Ongoing military control confirms that the goal is not security but territorial dominance and paving the way for actual annexation. Transforming Rafah into a 'concentration camp' is part of a long-term policy aimed at emptying Gaza of its original inhabitants in preparation for land confiscation. This brings to light the shocking proposal for a 'Riviera of the Middle East,' which has previously been rumored. The idea of creating a 'luxurious oasis for the wealthy' on the ruins of Gaza, while survivors are trapped in an isolated pocket, is not a fantasy; it is a blatant colonial vision that turns the tragedy of a people into a tourist resort for the affluent. Today, Gaza is not merely a humanitarian crisis; it serves as a laboratory for annexation, displacement, and exploitation under the protection of major powers. The transformation of Rafah into an open prison, the continuation of occupation, and discussions of tourism projects above the ruins all form part of a single chain aimed at geographically and demographically eradicating the Palestinian cause. The international community stands at a crossroads: it must either take action to enforce accountability, halt the genocide, prevent the displacement of Palestinians, and prosecute those orchestrating annexation and exploitation, or become a silent partner in establishing 'the largest concentration camp in the world.' Silence today is not neutrality; it is complicity in a crime that shapes a dark future not only for Gaza but for the foundations of international justice as a whole. Time is running out, and urgent action is the true test of human conscience.

Al-Qassam Brigades target Israeli tank with powerful explosive device in western Khan Younis
Gaza – SABA: The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced on Friday that its fighters had targeted an Israeli Merkava tank with a pre-prepared high-explosive IED west of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), Al-Qassam said: 'Our fighters targeted a Zionist Merkava tank with a powerful landmine-type explosive device on Thursday in the 'Maslakh' area southwest of Khan Younis.' This attack is part of the continued military actions by Palestinian resistance factions in retaliation for the ongoing genocide committed by the Israeli occupation forces in Gaza since October 7, 2023, with full U.S. backing. The aggression includes mass killings, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, in defiance of international appeals and orders from the International Court of Justice to cease hostilities.

Yemen : Ship attacked by Houthi rebels sinks in the Red Sea, 6 of 25 aboard rescued
A Liberian-flagged cargo ship attacked by Yemen's Houthi rebels sank Wednesday in the Red Sea, and a European naval force in the Mideast said only six of the 25 people who were on board have been rescued. The attack on the Eternity C, which also killed at least three of the crew, represents the most serious assault carried out by the Houthis in the crucial maritime trade route where $1 trillion in cargo once passed through annually. From November 2023 to December 2024, the Houthis targeted more than 100 ships with missiles and drones in a campaign the rebels describe as supporting Palestinians in the Gaza Strip during the Israel-Hamas war. The Iranian-backed rebels stopped their attacks during a brief ceasefire in the war. They later became the target of an intense weekslong campaign of airstrikes ordered by U.S. President Donald Trump. The attack on the Eternity C, as well as the sinking of the bulk carrier Magic Seas in another attack Sunday, raise new questions about the Red Sea's safety as ships had slowly begun returning to its waters. Meanwhile, a new possible ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war — as well as the future of talks between the U.S. and Iran over Tehran's battered nuclear program — remain in the balance. 'We are now with grave concern seeing an escalation in the Red Sea with attacks on two commercial ships earlier this week by Ansar Allah, resulting in civilian loss of life and casualties as well as the potential for environmental damage,' warned United Nations special envoy Hans Grundberg, using another name for the rebels. 6 of 25 on board have been rescued A statement from the European Union naval mission in the Red Sea said the crew of the ship included 22 sailors, among them 21 Filipinos and one Russian, as well as a three-member security team. Those rescued were five Filipinos and one Indian. Three people also were killed during the hourslong attack on the ship, the EU force said, and their nationalities were not immediately known. The armed rebels had attacked the ship with rocket-propelled grenades and small arms, later using two drones and two drone boats carrying bombs to strike the vessel, the EU force said. The Eternity C sank at 7:50 a.m. Wednesday, it added. The ship, flagged out of Liberia but owned by a Greek firm, likely had been targeted like the Magic Seas over its firm doing business with Israel. Neither vessel apparently requested an escort from the EU force. The U.S. military has two aircraft carriers in the Mideast, the USS Nimitz and the USS Carl Vinson, but both likely are in the Arabian Sea, far from the site of the attacks. There are two American destroyers believed to be operating in the Red Sea. However, the ships attacked had no U.S. ties and a ceasefire between the Houthis and America announced after the bombing campaign earlier this year still appears to be holding. Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree, a Houthi military spokesman, claimed the attack in a prerecorded message Wednesday night as the EU force acknowledged it was still searching for those onboard with private industry rescuers. The Houthis later released footage of them launching missiles at the Eternity C. The bridge appeared heavily damaged by the attack and oil leaked from the vessel. The ship took on water from holes along its waterline before sinking beneath the waves, the rebels chanting: 'God is the greatest; death to America; death to Israel; curse the Jews; victory to Islam.'
