350 Bodies Recovered From Rubble In Gaza
Israel's war on Gaza has been going on since Hamas' October 7 attack last year, which killed around 1,200 people -- mostly civilians -- and led to another 250 being abducted. Of these, around 100 people are still be🌼ing held captive in Gaza, and a third of them are believed to be d𒁏ead.
For more than a week now, Israel has been carrying out massive operation in Jabaliya -- an urban refugee camp in northern Gaz🗹a. Israeli troops reportedly keep returning to Jabaliya and other areas, saying that Hamas militants ha𓆏ve regrouped in the region.
Meanwhile, hospitals have received around 350 bodies since the offensive began on🌳 October 6, said Dr Mounir al-Boursh, the director-general of Gaza's Health Ministry.

Israeli airstrikes across Lebanon killed ൲at least 25 people, including the mayor of a southern city, officials said on Wednesday.
Israeli forces have said that they were targeting a Hezbollah commmander in their stri💖kes late on Tuesday which struck the southern town of Qana. The target was💟 said to be Jalal Mustafa Hariri, the militant group's commander in charge for the Qana area.
The IDF later announced that Hariri was killed in an airstrike in southern Lebanon. He was reportedly responsಞible for planning and carrying out terror activities against Israel and was killed alobgside commanders of artillery fire and anti-tank fire in the region.

US Airstrikes Target Bunkers Of Houthi Rebels
Of𝕴ficials on Thursday said that US long-range B-2 stealth bombers launched airstrikes early in the morning, targeting underground bunkers used by Yemen's Houthi rebels. However, there was no immediate clarity on the damages done.
Notably, it is rare for the B-2 Spir🅺it to be used in the strikes targeting Houthis, who have been attacking several ships in the R⭕ed Sea corridor for months over Israel's war on Gaza.
A local news channel had reported airꦓstrikes around Yemen's capital Sanaa, which the Houthi group has he🅷ld from 2014.
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a s💃tatement that the B-2 bombers targeted "five hardened underground weapons storage locations in Houthi-controlld areas of Yemen".
The strike reportedly appeared to be an indirect warning to Iran, the Houthis' main benefactor 💙who have targeted Israel twice with✱ ballistic missile attacks over the last year.
"This was a unique demonstration of the Unite💛d States' ability to target facilities that our adversaries seek to keep out of reach, no matter how deeply buried underground, hardened or fortified," Austin said.
Houthis have targeted over 80 merchant vessels with missiles and drones since the start of the war on Gaza last year. They also sei꧋zed 🍷one vessel and sunk two in the campaign, killing four sailors.
The rebels have said that they target ships connected to Israel🧔, the US or the United Kingdom, to force and end to Israel's campaign against Hamas in Gaza.
