US Military: We faced one of most intense combat operations in history in Red Sea
Sana'a – SABA:
The US Navy has acknowledged that the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman experienced one of the most intense combat operations in history while operating in the Red Sea—highlighting the severity of the threat posed by Yemeni attacks during the second wave of American escalation in Yemen.
A report by the US Naval Institute (USNI) described the relief and joy among the crews of the Truman and the destroyer USS Stout upon their return from what was described as a grueling combat mission. The report confirmed that three F/A-18 fighter jets were lost during the Truman's recent deployment and that over 1.1 million pounds of munitions were used by US forces over a 50-day campaign against Yemen.
After five months of confronting Yemeni forces in the Red Sea, the Stout and Truman concluded what the report called one of the most intense naval operations in decades for the US Navy.
Observers interpret the return of the Truman and Stout as a clear sign of the scale of the threat posed by Yemeni armed forces in the Red Sea against US military assets. The intensity of Yemeni attacks reportedly forced the US to seek an agreement to avoid further escalation, fearing a direct strike on the aircraft carrier itself—which would be a humiliating blow to the US military, especially after Yemeni forces posed real threats to advanced F-35 jets and succeeded in downing three F/A-18s. The Yemeni forces also relentlessly pursued US naval assets with continuous missile attacks around the clock.
Yemeni revolutionary leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi stated:
'The Americans have destroyed many civilian targets, and there are hundreds of martyrs and wounded among our dear people, but they have not been able to stop the operations, destroy our capabilities, or break our people's will.'
He added:
'If the Americans get involved in a third round of aggression, we are fully prepared to confront them.'

WHO condemns destruction of Kidney Dialysis Center in Northern Gaza by Israeli Forces
Geneva – SABA: The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, on Tuesday condemned the Israeli military's destruction of the Noura Al-Kaabi Dialysis Center in northern Gaza. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Ghebreyesus stated: 'The Noura dialysis center in northern Gaza is now a pile of rubble.' He emphasized that the destruction of this health facility poses a direct threat to the lives of patients suffering from kidney failure. The center had previously provided dialysis services to 40 patients per week before it was leveled. He noted that the WHO had managed to relocate 20 out of the 23 dialysis machines from the center to a safe location prior to the attack. Ghebreyesus renewed his call for a ceasefire and urged immediate protection for all health facilities and medical personnel. In his post, he also shared a before-and-after image comparison—one showing the center as it stood last year, and another depicting it reduced to rubble. Medical sources warned that the destruction of the center puts the health of kidney failure patients in northern Gaza in extreme jeopardy. They reported that 41% of such patients have died amid the ongoing genocide, due to denial of access to dialysis centers and the destruction of facilities dedicated to their care.

Hamas: Wietkov's proposal did not include an end to aggression on Gaza
Gaza – SABA: Senior Hamas official Bassem Naim stated on Tuesday evening that the movement had informed mediators of its readiness to enter a new round of negotiations, but not based on the latest version of the proposal by U.S. envoy Steve Wietkov, which, according to Naim, fails to guarantee a complete cessation of aggression on Gaza. In a press statement, Naim emphasized that Hamas cannot accept any agreement that does not ensure a halt to the war and aggression on the Gaza Strip. He further explained that Wietkov returned in the most recent round of talks with a proposal that significantly deviated from the previously agreed-upon version, adding that the new proposal included vague and ambiguous language that does not clearly guarantee an end to hostilities in Gaza. Naim pointed out that many countries around the world — including some of Israel's allies — are now convinced that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the main obstacle preventing a deal from being reached. He stressed that Hamas and all Palestinian factions will not miss any opportunity to end the war and aggression against the Gaza Strip and to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people — but only if there are real and credible guarantees.
