Israel army says intercepted missile launched from Yemen - War on Gaza
Israel's military said it intercepted a missile launched from Yemen on Tuesday, after air raid sirens sounded in several areas including Jerusalem. "Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, a missile that was launched from Yemen was intercepted" by the Israeli air force, an army statement said. Yemen's Iran-backed Huthi rebels have launched repeated missile and drone attacks against Israel since its October 2023 war on Gaza . On Saturday, the Huthis said they fired a ballistic missile towards Israel in response to Israel's conduct towards Palestinians during the Gaza war. It was the first missile launch against Israel announced by the Huthis since the June 24 ceasefire between Israel and Iran which ended their 12-day war. The Huthis, who say they are acting in solidarity with Palestinians, paused their attacks during a two-month ceasefire in Gaza that ended in March, but renewed them after Israel resumed its offensive. Israel has carried out several retaliatory strikes in Yemen, targeting Huthi-held ports and the airport in the rebel-held capital Sanaa. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

Gaza under Israeli siege as death toll mounts, famine looms
At least 51 Palestinians were killed in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, including 16 people waiting for aid, as Israel's military offensive entered its 106th day. The humanitarian crisis continues to spiral, with warnings of an imminent healthcare system collapse and a rapidly accelerating risk of famine, even as diplomatic efforts to broker a ceasefire persist. According to Gaza's Health Ministry, the death toll since October 7 has reached 56,647, with 134,105 wounded. In the past 24 hours alone, 116 people were killed and 463 injured. Amid the mounting casualties, the Al-Shifa Medical Complex announced a complete shutdown of kidney dialysis services due to fuel shortages, while intensive care units are now operating only a few hours a day. The World Health Organization (WHO) warned that repeated strikes near hospitals are pushing already overwhelmed facilities to the brink of collapse. Fierce fighting continued in Khan Younis, where Saraya al-Quds, the armed wing of Islamic Jihad, claimed a joint operation with Hamas's Qassam Brigades destroyed an Israeli Merkava tank and a military vehicle in the Abasan al-Kabira area. In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces killed two Palestinians in Hebron and Ramallah, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. Meanwhile, tensions flared in Jerusalem, as dozens of Israeli settlers, under heavy police protection, entered the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque. Diplomatic efforts continued, with Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani speaking by phone with Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Atty to discuss coordination with the United States on a potential ceasefire and the urgent need to restore humanitarian aid flows. The talks also addressed the release of hostages and detainees on both sides. Despite mediation efforts, Israel has kept Gaza's crossings sealed since March 2, blocking the flow of life-saving aid. The UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) warned that 'hunger is being used as a weapon,' and described the new Israeli-American aid delivery mechanism as 'a death trap.' The agency said civilians are being killed while searching for food and warned that forced displacement has become a death sentence. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus reported that approximately 112 children per day are being admitted to Gaza hospitals for malnutrition, underscoring the escalating humanitarian emergency. The World Food Programme (WFP) echoed those concerns, stating the window to avert famine is 'closing fast,' with only a few dozen aid trucks entering the enclave daily—far short of the 500 trucks needed to meet minimum food and medical needs. US President Donald Trump announced that he will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu next week at the White House to discuss the situation in Gaza and Iran. 'We want to get the hostages back from Gaza,' Trump said, adding that the talks will address 'many issues, including the tremendous success we've had on Iran.' Netanyahu confirmed the upcoming meeting, noting discussions would cover regional developments and a potential trade agreement. In Madrid, Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares reiterated his country's call for a permanent ceasefire, the unimpeded delivery of aid, and the two-state solution. Speaking to Al Jazeera, he said Spain's recent recognition of the State of Palestine is rooted in 'justice for the Palestinian people', while affirming Israel's right to defend itself against terrorism. The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) issued a strong condemnation of what it called Israel's escalating 'genocidal acts, starvation, and destruction,' citing a massacre on Monday that killed more than 85 people. The OIC labelled the violence war crimes and crimes against humanity, calling for urgent international action to secure a ceasefire, lift the blockade, and ensure protection for Palestinian civilians.

NOIF Denies Abnormal Phenomena in Mediterranean
Rana Atef The National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries (NIOF) confirmed that it didn't monitor any seismic activity or abnormal phenomena in the Mediterranean Sea, completely denying any indicators that may raise concern. This came in an official statement by the Institute on Tuesday, amid the circulation of controversial videos and information on social media regarding the possibility of unusual activity in the Mediterranean Basin. Dr. Abeer Mounir, Director of the National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries in Alexandria, stated that the institute has not recorded any unusual activity so far. She emphasized that the current geological status of the Mediterranean Sea is completely stable and there are no signs indicating earthquakes or tsunamis. Dr. Amr Zakaria Hamouda, Head of the Marine Risk Reduction Center at the Institute and Chairman of the International Expert Committee on Tsunami Risk Reduction, denied the credibility of a widely shared video showing a young man in a ship's control room, which some interpreted as a sign of concerning underwater activity. Hamouda explained that the circulated footage lacks any scientific significance, noting that the equipment shown in the video was not operational at the time of recording and did not display any data or technical signals pointing to unusual changes in wave activity or water levels. He affirmed that the circulating claims are inaccurate and based on scientifically unsupported assumptions. Hamouda confirmed that the observed limited changes in water direction are natural and result from ocean currents driven by high atmospheric pressure. These are routine, seasonal phenomena with no connection to seismic activity. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence"
