Yemen's Huthi rebels condemned on Tuesday Israel's wave of strikes on Gaza, vowing to escalate its own operations in support of its ally Hamas after threatening to renew attacks on Israeli shipping in the Red Sea.

The Houthis said on Telegram they had targeted the USS Harry S Truman carrier group with missiles and drones, making the attack the "third in the past 48 hours" in the northern Red Sea.

U.S. President Donald Trump has explicitly linked the actions of Yemen’s Houthi rebels to the group’s main benefactor, Iran.

Israel has restarted airstrikes on the Gaza Strip as ceasefire talks and negotiations for the release of hostages held by Hamas have stalled. DW has the latest.

Israel launched military strikes across Gaza overnight, shattering a shaky ceasefire that had paused 15 months of fighting. Hamas said at least 322 people had been killed or were missing. The strikes — along with others overnight by Israel on Lebanon and Syria as well as US attacks on the Houthis in Yemen since Saturday — have ended the Middle East’s relative calm in recent weeks.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he ordered the strikes because of a lack of progress in talks to extend the ceasefire.
