JERUSALEM: Yemen’s Houthi rebels launched a missile Friday at a US warship patrolling the Gulf of Aden, forcing it to shoot down the projectile, and struck a British vessel as their aggressive attacks on maritime traffic continue.
The attack on the US warship, the destroyer USS Carney, marked a further escalation in the biggest confrontation at sea the US Navy has seen in the Middle East in decades, as Houthi missile fire set another commercial vessel ablaze Friday night.
GAZA STRIP, Palestinian Territories: Palestinian militant group Hamas released a video on Friday showing three Israeli women held hostage in Gaza since the October 7 attack.
Two of the women who appeared in the five-minute video — Daniella Gilboa and Karina Ariev — said they were Israeli soldiers both aged 19.
The third, 30-year-old Doron Steinbrecher, identified herself as a resident of an Israeli community near the Gaza border.
The three women have been identified by AFP using official and community sources.
