Overview

  • Israeli airstrikes killed at least 100 Palestinians in Gaza on Wednesday, including 22 children, as evacuation warnings were issued for parts of Gaza City.
  • The Israeli military intercepted three ballistic missiles fired by Yemen’s Houthi movement over 24 hours, escalating regional tensions.
  • Israel issued evacuation warnings for three Yemeni ports, citing their use by the Houthis for military activities, potentially signaling forthcoming strikes.
  • Gaza remains under a total blockade since March, with half a million people at risk of starvation; international leaders demand Israel lift restrictions to prevent famine.
  • The U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation plans to begin aid distribution by the end of May, but aid agencies criticize the approach as inadequate and politically driven.
