The Israeli Army claimed to have killed the commander of the Rocket Unit of the Islamic Jihad identified as Anas Muhammad Saadi Masri in the north of the Gaza Strip.
“The terrorist Saadi Masri was responsible for ordering and executing numerous attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers of our Army”says the military statement.
The Israeli attack against this militiaman was carried out in early December in a drone bombing, as indicated in the note.
“Both on October 7 and thereafter, Saadi Masri commanded rocket attacks fired from northern Gaza against communities in southern Israel”, they add.
Israel always maintains, in the face of this type of bombing, that it takes “numerous measures to mitigate damage to civilians using precise munitions.”
In another order, the anti-missile sirens were activated this Monday night in Tel Aviv and the central region of Israel missile launch from Yemenintercepted before entering Israeli territory, the Army reported.
“After the sirens that recently sounded in central Israel, a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted by the Air Force before crossing into Israeli territory“, the Army reported in a statement.
In addition, he indicated that the sirens were activated at 11:11 p.m. (21:11 GMT) due to the possibility of shrapnel falling from the interception.
The Israeli emergency service (Magen David Adom) indicated that it received no reports of injuries.
For its part, the police detailed that they are carrying out explorations to locate the areas where remains of the intercepted device could have fallen.
On the other hand, the representative of Israel before the UN, Danny Danondefined this Monday before the United Nations Security Council missile launch by Yemen’s Houthi rebels as a “systematic and calculated terror”.
“We have no dispute with them. Despite this, they send their missiles and drones to murder our people. Because? Pure, radical and jihadist hatred towards Jews“, he said, adding that the Houthis have gone from being a group to becoming a “Terrorist Army” with the complicity of the international community.
Danon recalled that the Iran’s support for the Houthis violates UN Security Council resolutions 2140 and 2722, while also being an “attack on all principles of sovereignty and International Law.”
He also blamed the UN for “not fulfilling its responsibilities.” “We are aware of several ships that have docked at Hodeidah port this year without any inspection,” he said, adding that “The complacency of the international community has given free rein to terrorism”.
In this sense, he accused “some nations” of “preaching the values of International Law” while “turning a blind eye to those who violate these same principles with impunity,” also referring to Iran as an “elephant in the room.”
“The Houthis are completely strangling the Suez Canalthis critical global trade route used by almost all nations, and is under direct threat from a terrorist organization. The implications of such a scenario are unthinkable,” he recalled during his speaking turn.
