Israel-Palestine

The Biden administration said it has approved the emergency sale of nearly 14,000 rounds of ammunition worth more than $106 million as Israel intensifies its military operations in southern Gaza.

The United States was the only country to vote against a resolution calling for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war.

The news agency says it found evidence that Israeli forces were responsible for the October death of journalist Issam Abdallah. Israel's military is investigating but says it doesn't target the press.

The North Carolina Democratic Party on Sunday voted to recognize the Jewish Caucus as an affiliated organization.

Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched a series of attacks on vessels in the Red Sea, as well as launching drones and missiles targeting Israel as it wages war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

The temporary truce that collapsed early Friday followed seven weeks of fighting in Gaza sparked by simultaneous attacks on southern Israel by Hamas militants on Oct. 7.

A seven-day break in the fighting had allowed a significant increase in the delivery of badly needed food, fuel and medical supplies. But the flow of aid was halted by the resumption of airstrikes.

Israel's military resumed combat operations in the Palestinian enclave after a seven-day cease-fire broke down. During the pause, Hamas freed some 100 hostages in exchange for 240 Palestinians.

As both sides prepared for the final planned hostage-for-prison swap, gunmen killed three Israelis in an attack on the outskirts of West Jerusalem early Thursday.

The Islamist militia group yesterday put the hostages-for-prisoners swap on hold for several hours, alleging that Israel had violated the terms of a four-day truce.
