Suspected US airstrikes kill at least 1 in Yemen's Sanaa
by Naharnet Newsdesk 17 April 2025, 16:51
An intense series of suspected U.S. airstrikes hit sites across Yemen held by the Houthi rebels into Thursday morning, with at least one person reportedly being killed in the capital, Sanaa.
The strikes took place around multiple governorates in the country overnight, with the Houthis providing few details about the sites hit. The U.S. military's Central Command has provided no specifics on targets as well in its campaign, which has been hitting sites in Yemen since March 15.
The U.S military has been conducting strikes from the aircraft carriers the USS Harry S. Truman in the Red Sea and the USS Carl Vinson, now in the Arabian Sea. The U.S. also has stationed stealth B-2 bombers in Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, which likely also are being used in the strikes.

Israeli drone strike kills one, wounds 3 in Beit Lif
by Naharnet Newsdesk 8 hours One person was killed on Wednesday in an Israeli strike on a village in southern Lebanon, the health ministry and Israel's military said, the latest deadly attack since a November ceasefire. "The raid carried out by an enemy Israeli drone on the town of Beit Lif, in the Bint Jbeil district, resulted in one martyr and three people injured," read a statement from the ministry. The official National News Agency said the strike targeted the courtyard of a house in the town, adding that a missile hit the homeowner's car. The Israeli military later confirmed the attack, saying in a brief statement that it had "struck and eliminated a Hezbollah 'Radwan Force' terrorist in the area of Beit Lif in southern Lebanon". Israel has regularly bombed its northern neighbor since the November ceasefire that sought to end more than a year of hostilities with militant group Hezbollah, including two months of full-blown war. The agreement required Hezbollah fighters to withdraw north of the Litani river, about 30 kilometers from the Israeli border, and dismantle all military infrastructure to its south. It also required Israel to withdraw its troops from Lebanon, but it has kept them in five positions it deems "strategic".

Le Drian meets Hezbollah's Raad, both support UNIFIL mandate renewal
by Naharnet Newsdesk 6 hours French envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian met Wednesday with Hezbollah lawmaker Mohammad Raad in Haret Hreik. Le Drian also met on Tuesday and Wednesday with President Joseph Aoun, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil, Kataeb leader Sami Gemayel, and former PSP leader Walid Jumblat. Le Drian and Raad discussed the repeated Israeli attacks on Lebanon despite the ceasefire agreement reached in late November. They both said they supported the renewal of the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). As Le Drian visited Lebanon, United Nations peacekeepers said rock-throwing individuals confronted them during a patrol in south Lebanon, calling repeated targeting of their troops "unacceptable". Lebanese leaders, including Aoun, Salam, and Berri condemned the attacks on UNIFIL patrols. Israel also struck south Lebanon on Tuesday and Wednesday, killing three people. Le Drian said France is working on organizing a conference for the reconstruction of war-hit Lebanese regions and renewing the UNIFIL's mandate, as Raad said his party is keen on discussing reforms in parliament.
