DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The search for those missing after Yemen's Houthi rebels sank a ship in the Red Sea has ended as at least four people are presumed dead and 11 others remain unaccounted for, the private security firms involved said Monday.
The announcement came as satellite photos show long, trailing oil slicks from where the bulk carrier Eternity C sank, as well as another where the sinking of the bulk carrier Magic Seas by the Iranian-backed Houthis took place.

Security forces kill terrorist who held Emily Damari hostage in his Gaza home

Quneita was a member of Hamas' Al-Furqan Battalions' military intelligence battalion, and infiltrated Israel on October 7. Security forces killed the terrorist who held Emily Damari hostage in Gaza, the IDF and Shin Bet announced in a joint statement on Monday. On June 19, the IDF and Shin Bet struck Muhammad Nasr Ali Quneita in the area of Gaza City. Quneita was a member of Hamas' Al-Furqan Battalions' military intelligence battalion, and infiltrated Israel on October 7. He held Emily Damari hostage in his home at the start of the war. In response to the announcement, Damari posted to Instagram: "May we keep hearing good news like this, and may everyone be held accountable. But true victory will only come when my Gali, Ziv, and the rest of the 48 hostages are returned to us." Damari, a British-Israeli citizen, was kidnapped by Hamas on October 7, 2023, from her home in Kfar Aza, along with Gali Berman. Hamas also abducted Gali's twin brother, Ziv. The two brothers are still being held in Hamas captivity. During the massacre, Hamas terrorists stormed her home, where they killed her dog, Chucha, and shot her in the hand and leg at close range. She lost two fingers on her left hand and was wounded in her right leg. Damari was released on January 19 as part of the hostage deal earlier this year alongside Romi Gonen and Doron Steinbrecher. After her release, Damari's injury became a symbol of courage and survival in Israeli society. The IDF and Shin Bet said they will continue to operate against all those who took part in the October 7 massacre.

Here's what triggered the latest deadly sectarian clashes in Syria, and why it matters

BEIRUT — Clashes between Bedouin tribes, government forces and members of a minority sect in Syria have left dozens dead and once again raised fears of a breakdown in the country's fragile postwar order. The country is deeply divided as it tries to emerge from decades of dictatorship and nearly 14 years of civil war.
