The
IDF launches a series of airstrikes targeting the Yemeni port of
Hodeidah. A Houthi spokesperson says air defenses are in action to see
off 'the Israeli aggression'. An independent UN commission
report rules that Israel's actions in Gaza amount to genocide, with four
of the five internationally recognised acts of the crime, having been
committed. Despite tearing through Gaza for two years now and reducing
much of it to rubble Israel announces a major new ground operation in
the enclave.
