The United States military says it has sunk three boats waging an attack on a container ship in the Red Sea as it continues its patrol mission to counter threats from Yemen’s Houthi rebels. Helicopters from two US warships – the USS Eisenhower and USS Gravely – shot at the “Iranian-backed Houthi small boats” in self-defence on Sunday morning while responding to an SOS call from the Singapore-flagged vessel Maersk Hangzhou, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said. The US helicopters sunk three of the boats, killing several of their crew, it said. A fourth boat escaped. Al Jazeera’s Resul Serdar joins us live from Djibouti for the latest updates. Subscribe […]
Continuous Israeli attacks have led to a fresh exodus of Palestinians already driven from northern Gaza. The southern town of Rafah is struggling to cope with the influx. The UN says around 100-thousand people had arrived here in recent days. Virtually the entire population of Gaza – around 2.3 million people – is dependent on humanitarian aid. But few trucks are able to enter with food, medicine, fuel and other supplies.

South Africa has filed a case at the UN’s International Court of Justice accusing Israel of genocide. The petition accuses Israel of calculated actions intended to bring about the physical destruction of Palestine. Article II of the Genocide Convention was adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1948 and de-fines the crime of genocide. It has two main elements: Omer Bartov, a Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University, joins Al Jazeera live from Cambridge.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has bypassed congress and approved the sale of high explosive artillery shells and related equipment to Israel.

The Biden administration is pursuing a “dual-track” approach when it comes to the Gaza war, analyst Luciano Zaccara says, amid its recent decision to sell more weapons to Tel Aviv. “On the one hand they are trying to convince the public opinion that the US is really concerned about civilian casualties but also they keep sustaining Israel (militarily),” the Qatar University professor told Al Jazeera. “It is totally contradicting … it is hard to understand how this is in the national interest.” Zaccara said the policy was especially perplexing in light of “mounting pressure” in the US, including among democrats, against the war as civilian casualties in Gaza continue to […]

There has been a skunk water truck which has been spraying water towards Palestinians and Muslim worshippers. This produces an awful smell, which has been drifting in the air. People have also been attacked with tear gas grenades. The reason why there are these confrontations is that, since October 7, there have been vast restrictions on Muslims entering the place they revere as the third holiest place in Islam, the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound. The Israelis are only allowing people over 45 years old, but even then, they can restrict them. We have only seen about 3,00 to 4,000 worshippers in the past two weeks. Usually, you’d have between 50,000 and […]
