Yemen Houthi media says US strikes on Hodeida killed 10
'The death toll rose to 10 as a result of the American enemy's massacre in a residential neighborhood' of Hodeida, the Houthis' Al-Masirah TV station said.
Health ministry spokesman Anis al-Asbahi had earlier said four children and two women had been killed.
Houthi media said the strike had targeted a residential area in the Red Sea port city. On Tuesday night, an AFP journalist heard three loud blasts in succession.
Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said the group had downed a US drone, targeted an Israeli military site in the Tel Aviv area and launched drones at aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman.
Houthi-held areas of Yemen have seen near-daily strikes since Washington launched an air campaign against the Iran-backed Houthis on March 15 to force them to stop threatening vessels in key maritime routes.
Since then, the Houthis have also launched attacks targeting US military ships and Israel, claiming to be acting in solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
The Houthis began targeting ships transiting the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, as well as Israeli territory, after the outbreak of the Gaza war in October 2023, later pausing their attacks during a January ceasefire.
Israel cut off all supplies to Gaza at the start of March, and resumed its offensive on the Palestinian territory on March 18, ending the short-lived truce.
The new US campaign followed Houthi threats to resume attacks on vessels over Israel's Gaza blockade.
The Houthi attacks crippled the vital Red Sea route, which normally carries about 12 percent of world shipping traffic, forcing many companies to make a much longer detour around the tip of southern Africa.

Palestinians flee Gaza City districts as Israel says first stages of offensive have begun
GAZA — Palestinians are fleeing parts of Gaza City after the Israeli military began the first stages of a planned ground offensive, officials in the city say. Israel's troops have established a foothold on the outskirts of the city — which is home to more than a million Palestinians — after days of intense bombing and artillery fire. It has prompted UN Secretary General António Guterres to renew calls for an immediate ceasefire "to avoid the death and destruction" an assault would "inevitably cause". Israel wants to signal that it is pressing ahead with its plan to capture all of Gaza City despite international criticism. Hundreds of Palestinians in the Zeitoun and Sabra neighbourhoods of Gaza City have left toward the north-western part of the city. Gaza City residents described relentless bombardments overnight into Thursday. "The house shakes with us all night long -- the sound of explosions, artillery, warplanes, ambulances, and cries for help is killing us," Ahmad al-Shanti told news agency AFP. "The sound is getting closer, but where would we go?" Amal Abdel-Aal was displaced from her home in Sabra a week ago and said she watched strikes hit the area. "No one in Gaza has slept, not last night, not for a week. The artillery and air strikes in the east never stop. The sky flashes all night long," she said. An Israeli military spokesman said on Wednesday that troops were already operating in the Zeitoun and Jabalia areas to lay the groundwork for the offensive, which Defence Minister Israel Katz approved on Tuesday and which will be put to the security cabinet later this week. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he is "shortening the timelines" for seizing what he described as "the last terror strongholds" in Gaza. In a statement, Hamas accused the Israeli leader of continuing a "brutal war against innocent civilians in Gaza City" and criticised what it said was his "disregard" for a new ceasefire proposal from regional mediators. Israel has yet to formally respond to the plan. About 60,000 Israeli reservists are being called up for the beginning of September to free up active-duty personnel for the operation. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza City are expected to be ordered to evacuate and head to southern Gaza. Many of Israel's allies have condemned its plan, with French President Emmanuel Macron warning on Wednesday that it "can only lead to disaster for both peoples and risks plunging the entire region into a cycle of permanent war". The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) meanwhile said further displacement and an intensification of hostilities "risk worsening an already catastrophic situation" for Gaza's 2.1 million population. Israel's government announced its intention to conquer the entire Gaza Strip after indirect talks with Hamas on a ceasefire and hostage release deal broke down last month. Speaking at a televised briefing on Wednesday, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson Brigadier General Effie Defrin said Hamas was "battered and bruised" after 22 months of war. "We will deepen the damage to Hamas in Gaza City, a stronghold of governmental and military terror for the terrorist organisation," he added. "We will deepen the damage to the terror infrastructure above and below the ground and sever the population's dependence on Hamas." But Defrin said the IDF was "not waiting" to begin the operation. "We have begun the preliminary actions, and already now, IDF troops are holding the outskirts of Gaza City." Two brigades were operating on the ground in the Zeitoun neighbourhood, where in recent days they had located an underground tunnel that contained weapons, and a third brigade was operating in the Jabalia area, he added. The civil defence agency reported that Israeli strikes and fire had killed 25 people across the territory on Wednesday. They included three children and their parents whose home in the Badr area of Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City, was bombed, it said. Defrin said the IDF was also doing everything possible to prevent harm to the 50 hostages still being held by Hamas in Gaza, 20 of whom are believed to be alive. Their families have expressed fears that those in Gaza City could be endangered by a ground offensive. The ICRC warned of a catastrophic situation for both Palestinian civilians and the hostages if military activity in Gaza intensified. "After months of relentless hostilities and repeated displacement, the people in Gaza are utterly exhausted. What they need is not more pressure, but relief. Not more fear, but a chance to breathe. They must have access to the essentials to live in dignity: food, medical and hygiene supplies, clean water, and safe shelter," a statement said. "Any further intensification of military operations will only deepen the suffering, tear more families apart, and threaten an irreversible humanitarian crisis. The lives of hostages may also be put at risk," it added. It called for an immediate ceasefire and the rapid and unimpeded passage of humanitarian assistance across Gaza. The UN secretary general also called for the unconditional release of hostages held by Hamas. Mediators Qatar and Egypt are trying to secure a ceasefire deal and have presented a new proposal for a 60-day truce and the release of around half of the hostages, which Hamas said it had accepted on Monday. Israel has not yet submitted a formal response, but Israeli officials insisted on Tuesday that they would no longer accept a partial deal and demanded a comprehensive one that would see all the hostages released. On Wednesday Hamas accused Netanyahu of disregarding the mediators' ceasefire proposal and said he was the "real obstructionist of any agreement", according to a statement cited by Reuters. The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage. At least 62,122 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the territory's health ministry. The ministry's figures are quoted by the UN and others as the most reliable source of statistics available on casualties. — BBC

Saudi Arabia slams Israeli crimes of genocide against unarmed civilians in Gaza
Saudi Gazette report RIYADH — Saudi Arabia condemned in the strongest terms on Thursday the Israeli occupation authorities' persistence in their crimes against the Palestinian people and their occupied land, and their ongoing attempts to displace them and prevent the establishment of their independent state. "This includes Israel's commencement of expanding settlement construction around occupied Jerusalem and the expansion of their operations and aggression, amounting to crimes of genocide against defenseless civilians in the Gaza Strip," Saudi Arabia said in a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency. The Kingdom affirmed that these steps constitute serious violations of international law and relevant UN Security Council resolutions. "The continued implementation of dangerous Israeli plans and the continued crimes of the Israeli occupation authorities and forces without deterrence have a significant impact on the security and stability of the region and threaten the legitimacy of the international law," the statement added.

Israel Launches Military Operation in Gaza City Amid Ceasefire Talks
Israeli forces began preliminary operations to seize Gaza City on Wednesday, signaling a major escalation despite urgent international warnings. The military simultaneously called up tens of thousands of reservists while the government weighed a new Arab-backed ceasefire proposal, nearly two years after Hamas's October 2023 attack ignited the devastating conflict. Brigadier General Effie Defrin, Israel's military spokesperson, declared: 'We have begun preliminary operations and the first attack stages on Gaza City; IDF forces now hold its outskirts.' Defrin further described Hamas as a 'battered and bruised' guerrilla force within its former governmental stronghold. Consequently, Israeli troops clashed with over fifteen Hamas militants near Khan Younis on Wednesday. These fighters emerged from tunnels, attacking with gunfire and anti-tank missiles, severely wounding one soldier. Ceasefire Hopes Clash with Military Timeline Meanwhile, Hamas accepted a 60-day truce proposal involving hostage releases and prisoner exchanges. However, Israel insists all fifty remaining hostages must return immediately, believing twenty are still alive. Furthermore, Prime Minister Netanyahu's office accelerated military plans after Wednesday's clashes, aiming to defeat Hamas faster. A military official previously suggested reservists would not deploy until September, offering mediators crucial time. Nevertheless, Netanyahu now pressures the timeline, facing demands from far-right coalition members to reject any temporary ceasefire. Many Gazans and global leaders fear a full-scale assault on Gaza City will cause massive casualties. Israel promises evacuation orders before any major assault begins, and the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem reports notices already reaching neighborhoods near Gaza City's Catholic Church. Consequently, the densely populated urban center faces imminent danger despite international pleas. Over 62,000 Palestinians have reportedly died since October 2023, according to Gaza health officials, who state most victims are women and children. Conflict Deepens Amid Political Pressures Hamas accused Netanyahu of deliberately obstructing peace to continue a 'brutal war against innocent civilians.' Simultaneously, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich approved a controversial West Bank settlement project, which he claims eliminates Palestinian statehood prospects. Israel currently controls approximately 75% of the Gaza Strip after widespread destruction of homes, schools, and mosques. Hamas, severely weakened by the prolonged war, demands the conflict ends only upon full hostage release. Israel, however, refuses peace until Hamas disarms completely. Public opinion strongly supports ending the war for hostage freedom, evidenced by Saturday's massive Tel Aviv rally. This pressure intensifies dramatically as tanks approach Gaza City's edge.
