Israel bombed Yemen, there are casualties. The target of the attacks was the port and the oil terminal. The Israeli armed forces accused Yemen's Houthi rebels of firing a rocket at Israel. The conflict with the pro-Iranian Houthis is another aspect of Israel's activities. The war in the Gaza Strip has been going on for months, and Human Rights Watch accuses Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians by denying them access to water.
He was just one step away from a great tragedy. A rocket fired from Yemen towards Israel hit a school in Ramat Gan near Tel Aviv. The muscle was successfully neutralized, but parts of it fell into densely populated areas. – This attack was powerful. Fortunately, the incident happened at 3 a.m. and there were no children inside, reports Jonathan Raz of the Israel Civil Defense.
In response, Israel launched its fighter jets and bombed targets about two thousand kilometers from its borders. The Israeli military has struck facilities used by the Houthi rebels in Yemen, including ports and energy infrastructure in the capital Sana'a, which they control. At least 9 people were killed in airstrikes in Yemen.

Yemen is another front where Israel is practically in conflict with Iran. The Houthi rebels are sponsored and armed by the Ayatollah regime. Many countries consider them a terrorist organization.
Since the beginning of Israel's war with Hamas, the Houthis have continuously attacked commercial ships passing through the Red Sea. – They attack not only us, but the whole world. They attack the shipping and international trade routes. So, when Israel takes action against the Houthis, it acts on behalf of the entire international community, says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
HWR: Israel is denying the people of the Gaza Strip access to drinking water
The Israeli army continues to bomb targets in the Gaza Strip. At least 30 people were killed in explosions here in the last few hours.
The Human Rights Watch accuses Israel of deliberately denying the civilians of the Gaza Strip access to drinking water. The organization says:
“This is not simple negligence. This is a calculated policy that has resulted in the deaths of thousands of people from dehydration and disease. This is a crime against humanity consisting of extermination and acts of genocide.”

This is not the first time that Israel has been accused of crimes against humanity. It was on this charge that in November the International Criminal Court in The Hague issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Joav Galant.
– I have to walk five kilometers to get one liter of water. Why? Because there is little water in the Gaza strip. Even a liter is hard to find. Mohammad al-Daya, a resident of Gaza Strip, says that I have to wait in line for two hours until my line is filled with water.
“The water we drink is actually not suitable for consumption, but it is the only water,” says Comrade Murad, a resident of the Gaza Strip.
Ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas continue in Cairo. Leaks show that American, Egyptian and Qatari mediators have been able to make significant progress on most of the sticking points, including the exchange of Hamas hostages.
