333 days of Gaza genocide
In Gaza, it’s been another day of death and destruction as the US-Israeli genocide rages on. In the northern Jabalia refugee camp, an Israeli airstrike hit a gathering of citizens in front of a school sheltering displaced people. At least eight people were killed. Nine more lost their lives in nearby Gaza City when two homes were bombed. To the south, two children from the same family were killed after the Israeli bombing of the al-Mawasi area, west of the city of Rafah. Nearly 40,800 people have been killed in the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza since October 7. Over 94,000 have also been injured.
Israeli captives in Gaza
Hamas’s armed wing says the Israeli prime minister and army are fully and solely responsible for the deaths of the captives in Gaza. The spokesman for al-Qassam Brigades said Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli army deliberately obstructed any prisoner exchange deal for their "narrow interests". Abu Obaida added that the regime has also been intentionally killing dozens of the captives through direct airstrikes. He was speaking after the Israeli army said it had recovered the bodies of six captives in Gaza. Obaida warned that the rest of the captives would also return to their families inside coffins if Netanyahu continues to try to free them militarily instead of making a ceasefire deal.
Yemen retaliatory operations
Yemen’s armed forces have targeted an Israel-linked ship in the Red Sea in retaliation for the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip. Yemen’s army spokesman said the country’s forces directly hit the Blue Lagoon vessel using missiles and drones. Yahya Saree said the ship was targeted due to the violation of a ban on access to the ports of occupied Palestine by the company that owns the vessel. Yemen has vowed to continue such operations until Israel ends its genocidal war on Gaza. Since last October, the Arab country has targeted Israeli and Israeli-bound ships in response to the regime's crimes in the besieged strip.
