Diplomat attack in West Bank and airstrike in Yemen under investigation

Israeli police stated that an investigation has been launched regarding an alleged attack on diplomats in the village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank. Meanwhile, it was reported that three children lost their lives in an airstrike in Yemen.

Israeli police launched an inquiry following footage circulating online showing diplomats being attacked in the village of Taybeh. According to public broadcaster Kan, the diplomats targeted included representatives from France, Belgium, and Poland. In a separate statement, the Israeli military indicated that the visit had not been coordinated with them and that no soldiers were present at the scene.

It was noted that there has been an increase in violence by Jewish settlers against Palestinians during the annual olive harvest season, with activists stating that authorities have been insufficient in intervening. In an attack on Friday, multiple individuals, including a Washington Post photojournalist, were seriously injured.

In Yemen's southwestern Dhamar governorate, the Iran-backed Houthis announced that Saudi-led airstrikes resulted in the deaths of three children. The Houthi-run health ministry reported that strikes targeting homes in the al-Ar village of the Dawran Aness district also left over ten people injured. The Houthis held Saudi Arabia responsible.
