Gaza genocide

Day 134 of relentless Israeli attacks on Palestinians in Gaza. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society warns that Israeli attacks on health facilities and staff in Gaza are posing a significant threat to the lives of those in need of medical care. The warning comes as Israeli forces persist in targeting Khan Yunis, a southern city in Gaza. Al-Amal Hospital is also under a complete siege, with Israeli armored vehicles blocking its entrances. The regime’s forces have declared a curfew around the hospital and terrorize the people taking shelter there to vacate the complex. Meanwhile, Nasser Hospital, the largest medical facility in Khan Younis also remained under siege. Four patients died on Friday due to the lack of oxygen as shelling caused a power outage there. This is the 134th day since Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza. Nearly 28,800 Palestinians have been killed and about one and a half million displaced since then. 

Yemen Gaza support

The spokesman for Yemen’s armed forces has confirmed targeting yet another British oil tanker in the Red Sea. Yahya Saree said that several rockets were fired at the vessel. He did not specify the scale of damage inflicted but said the target was appropriately hit. Saree also reiterated Yemen’s pledge to keep targeting Israeli-owned vessels or any other ships heading to Israeli ports in the occupied Palestinian territories. He said such attacks would continue as long as the Israeli regime continues its bloodshed against Palestinians. Yemeni forces have targeted dozens of such ships in response to Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip. They have also been targeting British and American vessels. That’s in response to the aggression the US and the UK have recently launched against Yemen to protect Israeli interests in the region.

Iran defense might

Iran has unveiled two domestically-manufactured air defense systems as part of a national drive to boost the country’s defense. The Ministry of Defense unveiled the Arman anti-ballistic missile system as well as a low-altitude air defense system called Azarakhsh. Arman, a tactical missile interception system, is capable of firing several missiles simultaneously within a range of 75 to 120 kilometers. Experts say the range can be increased up to 150 kilometers. The system is designed to operate at intermediate and high altitudes and is made up of a transporter, launcher and radar. Other mobile missile launchers can be attached to the Arman system, as well. Iran has unveiled and inducted to the Armed Forces several indigenously-made defense systems, including missiles and drones in recent months.
