An Israeli official said Israel will stop airdrops over Gaza City in the coming days and reduce the number of aid trucks arriving in the strip’s north as it prepares to evacuate hundreds of thousands, a move likely to bring more global condemnation.

The Houthi rebels say an Israeli airstrike earlier this week has killed the prime minister of the rebel-controlled government in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, along with several ministers. An acting prime minister has been appointed.

Lebanon’s army chief says the military will soon carry out “sensitive missions,” in an apparent reference to the government’s U.S.-backed plan to disarm Hezbollah by the end of the year.

The latest death toll was released as Palestinians faced the start of Israel’s expanded offensive in Gaza City and as Israel said its military had recovered the remains of two hostages. 

A federal judge in New York rejected Saudi Arabia’s latest effort to dismiss civil claims that it supported the 9/11 hijackers, finding the claims legally sufficient to proceed to trial.

The U.N. Security Council has voted unanimously to terminate the U.N. peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon at the end of 2026, bowing to demands from the U.S. and Israel.

Thursday’s attack came after the Israeli military said early in the day that it intercepted a drone launched towards Israel by the rebels on Thursday, the third strike by Yemen on Israel in the past week.

France, Germany and the United Kingdom moved Thursday to reimpose United Nations sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program, further isolating Tehran after its atomic sites were repeatedly bombed during a 12-day war with Israel.

Syria’s Foreign Ministry called the attack “a grave violation of international law.” The Israeli military did not comment on the strikes.

Israeli and U.S. officials met Wednesday in Washington to discuss post-war Gaza, even as Israel’s military called the evacuation of Gaza City “inevitable” ahead of a new offensive and no sign of a ceasefire was in sight.
