The World Health Organization’s chief said he was nearby when Israel strikes targets in Yemen

Israel’s offensive against Hamas and its ally, Al-Jazeera, has killed at least 800,000 Palestinians, and killed eight more in the West Bank

Israel has accused six of the Gaza correspondents for Al-Jazeera of being militant. The Qatar-based broadcaster denies the allegations and accuses Israel of trying to silence its war coverage, which has focused heavily on civilian casualties from Israeli military operations.

The incinerated shell of a van was shown by Associated Press footage, with press markings on the back doors. There were sobbing young men at the funeral. The bodies were wrapped in shrouds.

Islamic Jihad is a smaller and more extreme ally of Hamas and was involved in the attack on southern Israel that started the war. Israel’s military identified four of the men as combat propagandists and said that intelligence, including a list of Islamic Jihad operatives found by soldiers in Gaza, had confirmed that all five were affiliated with the group.

The strike hit a car outside Al-Awda Hospital in the built-up Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. A group of journalists worked for Al-Quds Today, a TV channel affiliated with the Islamic Jihad militant group.

The Health Ministry in Gaza said that five Palestinian journalists were killed outside a hospital during an Israeli strike. The Israeli military said all were militants posing as reporters.

Israel’s air and ground offensive has killed over 45,000 Palestinians, according to the Health Ministry. It doesn’t say how many of the dead were fighters, but more than half of the deaths have been women and children. Israel says it has killed over 17,000 militants, without providing evidence.

The war began when Hamas-led militants stormed across the border, killing around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting around 250. About 100 hostages are still inside Gaza, at least a third believed to be dead.

The offensive has caused widespread destruction and driven around 90% of the population of 2.3 million from their homes. Hundreds of thousands of people crammed into squalid tent camps along the coast have no protection from the cold, wet winter.

Also Thursday, people mourned eight Palestinians killed by Israeli military operations in and around the city of Tulkarem in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. The Israeli military opened fire after it was aware that some people had been hurt in the raid.

U.N. Security Council Secretary of State Tedros Adhanom blasted the Iranian-backed Houthi attacks on Yemen’s airport

The U.N. Security Council has scheduled an emergency meeting Monday in response to an Israeli request that the council condemn the Houthi attacks and Iran for supplying them weapons.

Several days of launches were followed by Israeli strikes. The Israeli military said it attacked infrastructure used by the Iran-backed Houthis at the international airport in Sanaa and ports in Hodeida, Al-Salif and Ras Qantib, along with power stations, asserting they were used to smuggle in Iranian weapons and for the entry of senior Iranian officials.

The U.N. has noted that the targeted ports are important entryways for humanitarian aid for Yemen, the poorest Arab nation that plunged into a civil war in 2014.

The strikes took place over 1,000 miles from Jerusalem, and came a day after Benjamin Netanyahu said the Iranians would learn what Hamas and Hezbollah and Assad’s regime learned.

Israel’s military didn’t immediately respond to questions about Tedros’ post but issued a statement saying it had “capabilities to strike very far from Israel’s territory — precisely, powerfully, and repetitively.”

He said that he and others were safe. He did not mention the source of the bombardment, but said that it would take time for damage to the airport to be repaired. The person who was injured was with the U.N. Humanitarian Air Service.

Tedros Adhanom is the man who said on the social media platform X that the air traffic control tower, the departure lounge and the runway were damaged.
