New U.S. airstrikes hit Yemen's Sa'dah
ALBAWABA- U.S. forces have launched five new airstrikes on the outskirts of Sa'dah, the northern Yemeni city considered the stronghold of the Houthi-led Ansar Allah movement, according to Houthi-affiliated media. The fresh wave of attacks comes just days after a U.S. strike reportedly hit a detention center in Sa'dah, killing at least 68 people and wounding around 50, many of them African migrants. عاجل | وسائل إعلام تابعة لأنصار الله: عدوان أمريكي بـ5 غارات على محيط مدينة #صعدة — الجزيرة - عاجل (@AJABreaking) May 1, 2025 The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) condemned the attack. Christine Cipolla, ICRC's regional director for the Near and Middle East, stated, 'The deadly strike on the detention center resulted in a large number of casualties, including migrants. It is unacceptable for detainees to be caught in the crossfire. This incident highlights the increasing threat to civilian lives in Yemen.' Simultaneously, the U.S. military confirmed that an F/A-18B fighter jet crashed into the Red Sea after taking off from the USS Harry S. Truman. The crash reportedly occurred during an exchange of fire with Houthi forces. One U.S. Navy personnel was injured. The incident marks a significant operational setback, which U.S. officials have reluctantly acknowledged. Since March 15, the U.S. has sharply escalated its air campaign in Houthi-controlled areas across northern and western Yemen. Human rights groups report that hundreds of civilians have been killed in the strikes, with one of the deadliest targeting Ras Isa port, killing more than 80 people, mostly workers and truck drivers.

Dozens killed since morning in continued Israeli assaults on Gaza

In Abasan Al-Kabira, near Khan Younis, artillery fire by Israeli forces killed one farmer and wounded two others. A Palestinian police outpost north of Rafah was also bombed in an overnight strike. عاجل | مصادر طبية للجزيرة: 18 شهيدا في غارات إسرائيلية على مناطق عدة في قطاع غزة منذ فجر اليوم — الجزيرة - عاجل (@AJABreaking) April 20, 2025 These attacks come a day after 56 Palestinians were killed in similar assaults, part of what Palestinians and human rights groups now describe as a daily killing of civilians with total disregard for human life, international law, and ethical norms. The persistent Israeli bombardment and civilian casualties have prompted accusations of war crimes and genocide. Alongside the violence, Gaza is experiencing an escalating humanitarian catastrophe. According to The Guardian, citing aid agencies, Israel's blockade has created desperate and unprecedented conditions. Famine is reportedly more devastating than the airstrikes themselves. Oxfam reports that most children in Gaza now survive on less than one meal a day. As the war grinds on, calls are mounting for an immediate ceasefire and the opening of humanitarian corridors to prevent further civilian suffering in one of the world's most densely populated and devastated regions.

Ascari, Italian Politician, Condemns "Criminal Will" Behind Gaza Massacres
Italian politician Stefania Ascari calls on her country to stop selling weapons to Israel for further killing and massacres in Gaza. Ascari expressed her shock at Events in Palestine: 'We have witnessed a criminal will aimed at the annihilation of the Palestinian people' In a moving speech, an Italian poltician described what she witnessed during a visit to the Rafah crossing as 'horrific,' emphasizing that what she saw and heard from her colleagues confirms the existence of a criminal will aimed at the annihilation of the Palestinian people. The politician, who has personally experienced the horrors of genocide in the past, stated that she speaks from a place of deep humanity. She added: 'Through my participation in the working group for peace between Palestine and Israel, and in collaboration with my colleagues, governmental organizations, and journalists, we have witnessed with our own eyes what can only be described as a criminal will to completely destroy the Palestinian people.' She continued: 'In the video we watched, we see mothers holding their children's hands, but they do not know that the children shown in the video no longer have hands. Their limbs have been amputated. The children there no longer have arms or hands. This is the horrific reality we are facing.' @aljazeera نائبة إيطالية: لمسنا إرادة إجرامية لإبادة الفلسطينيين #فيديو ♬ original sound – الجزيرة – الجزيرة The politician pointed out that more than 70,000 people, including children, women, and men, have been brutally killed as part of a premeditated and calculated plan, even before the events of October 7. She affirmed that these events are 'unacceptable and inhumane,' expressing her sorrow over the complete loss of humanity. In response to Trump's statements about the forced deportation of an entire people, the politician said: 'This people exists, and they must be treated with humanity and respect. What does Italy want to do? Does it want to continue selling weapons and supporting the trade of death that leads to more killing and massacres?' She also added: 'International institutions are standing idly by; they do not sign a ceasefire, do not recognize the state of Palestine, and do not support the International Criminal Court. Where are we headed? We must wake up and ask: Where is the Christian mother to come here and ask us: Does Italy want to be complicit in these crimes and genocide, or does it want to stand on the side of justice and human life?' In conclusion, Ascari called for an end to the support of the arms trade and the adoption of a humanitarian stance that supports peace and justice, emphasizing that standing against these crimes is a moral responsibility for everyone.

Iran to withdraw from nuclear non-proliferation treaty if sanctions reimposed
ALBAWABA- In a significant escalation, Iran has signaled its intent to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) if international sanctions are reinstated, according to Russia's representative to international organizations in Vienna. The warning comes amid growing concerns over Iran's nuclear program and rising tensions with the West. Russia's envoy stated that the automatic return of all sanctions on Iran is under consideration, warning of a potential uncontrollable escalation if diplomatic dialogue is not restored. He also noted that the duration of the existing action plan for Iran's nuclear program is nearing its end, with no efforts underway to establish an alternative agreement. The statement follows renewed threats from U.S. President Donald Trump, who warned of possible military action against Iran's nuclear program, accusing Tehran of pursuing nuclear weapons—a claim echoed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Both leaders have hinted at military intervention should Iran continue its nuclear activities. Meanwhile, a recent report from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that Iran has significantly increased its stockpile of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels. Also Read 32 rescued after oil tanker and cargo ship crash in North Sea According to the IAEA report, as of February 8, Iran possesses 274.8 kilograms (605.8 pounds) of uranium enriched up to 60%—a short technical step away from the 90% threshold required for nuclear weapons. This marks a sharp rise from 182.3 kilograms (401.9 pounds) recorded in November 2024. عاجل | مندوب روسيا بالمنظمات الدولية بفيينا: إيران تعتزم الانسحاب من معاهدة حظر انتشار السلاح النووي إن عادت العقوبات — الجزيرة - عاجل (@AJABreaking) March 10, 2025
