Air strike kills seven people, including four children, at a Save the Children-supported hospital in Yemen as the country marks the fourth anniversary of a war that has killed thousands
The Israeli army says its warplanes struck"several" targets in the Gaza Strip as a fragile truce with the territory's Hamas leaders appeared to falter. The UN says Israeli attacks on Gaza could be a crime against humanity.The Israeli military said late Tuesday that its warplanes struck "several" targets belonging to Palestinian resistance group Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
"I am concerned that we may, once again, be facing another very dangerous escalation of violence in Gaza, with potentially catastrophic consequences," Nickolay Mladenov told the UN Security Council. "The last two days show how precariously close we came to the brink of war once again.” Hamas announced late Monday that Egypt managed to secure a cease-fire between Israel and Gaza-based resistance factions.
"There is no viable alternative to the two state solution," he said. "Creating conditions for the parties to return to meaningful negotiations remains critical."A tense quiet took hold on Tuesday morning after a night of heavy fire as Israeli aircraft bombed Gaza in what the military said was a response to a rocket attack from Gaza.
The prime minister is facing corruption charges and goes into the election a damaged candidate. He has promised harsh action, setting the stage for perhaps the most serious conflict since a war in 2014. Netanyahu faces the difficult task of delivering a tough blow to Hamas while avoiding protracted fighting that could work against him on election day.
