Yemen strikes Israel
Yemeni forces have confirmed a new retaliatory ballistic missile strike on Israeli-occupied territories in solidarity with Palestinians in war-torn Gaza. The spokesman said the operation successfully achieved its intended objectives. The army vowed to continue its retaliatory operations against Israel as long as the regime continues its genocidal war in Gaza. Earlier, media reports said flights at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport were halted after the Yemeni strike. The Yemeni armed forces have been carrying out missile and drone strikes against Israel, inflicting damage on the regime’s infrastructure, and disrupting international flight operations at its airports.
Gaza truce talks
Negotiators are in the Egyptian capital Cairo ahead of planned talks between Hamas and Israeli delegation aimed at ending the regime’s genocidal war on Gaza. According to Egyptian media, the two sides are scheduled to hold two-day indirect talks beginning on Sunday. The US has also sent two envoys to Egypt to mediate the negotiations. The talks are set to begin after Hamas partially approved US President Donald Trump’s 20-point proposals for a ceasefire. A key sticking point for Hams remains the future of a Palestinian state. The resistance group says that it should be decided by the Palestinians themselves. The Israeli regime, however, is yet to heed Trump’s call for a halt to bombing of Gaza.
