Israel Issues An Ultimatum Before Ramadan: Release Hostages or Elsewhere Talks about the IDF Action Hostages are scheduled to resume. However, Israel is putting out a firm line: either the IDF destroys the militants' final stronghold in Rafah during the Muslim Holy month, or Hamas releases those hostages by Ramadan. This is happening as horrifying information regarding Hamas' horrific sexual attacks on Israeli women on October 7th keeps coming to light. The Israeli military claims it is still expanding its operations in the northern Gaza Strip, where the fight against Hamas began months ago. As they moved from building to building, troops could be seen sprinting and firing. Returning to long-stalled negotiations, Israeli negotiators hope to secure the release of around 130 captives that Hamas may still be holding in Gaza. Israel has only resumed discussions because, according to mediators, Hamas has lowered its demands, which include an end to the conflict.
Increased airstrikes by the US and the UK target Houthi targets in the capital of Yemen In a joint statement, the US and UK claimed that their armies had attacked 36 Houthi targets in 13 different places throughout Yemen, assisted by Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, and New Zealand. As per the statement, the purpose of the strikes was to weaken and hinder the ability of the Houthi militia, which is supported by Iran, to carry out their heedless and unstable assaults on American and foreign ships that were legally passing through the Red Sea. The statement claims that airstrikes destroyed Houthi missile systems, launchers, underground weapons storage sites, and other equipment.
Although the statement notes the Houthis' ties to Iran, it is unclear if these strikes are a part of the US's announced plans to retaliate for drone attacks on Jordan that resulted in the deaths of three US soldiers.
