The Biden administration is planning a sustained military campaign targeting the Houthis in Yemen after 10 days of strikes failed to halt their attacks on maritime commerce, administration officials told The Washington Post, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. As violence spreads across the region, a number of U.S. troops are being evaluated for traumatic brain injuries after Iran-backed militants in western Iraq attacked the Ain al-Asad Air Base, U.S. Central Command said.

A Palestinian American teenager was fatally shot in the West Bank, a family member told The Washington Post. Tawfic Hafeth Abdel Jabbar, 17, grew up in the New Orleans area. The State Department confirmed the death of an American civilian in the West Bank and Israeli police said they were launching a “comprehensive investigation” into the incident.
Mohammed Abdulsalam, a spokesman for the Houthis, told Reuters that the group’s attacks would remain focused on blockading Israel and retaliating against U.S.-led airstrikes, and would not expand into a new fight against Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The Iran-backed rebels have taken an outsize bite out of global shipping and are threatening the Israeli economy.
The Israeli army confirmed that it has removed bodies from gravesites in Gaza in the search for hostages. “The hostage identification process, conducted at a secure and alternative location, ensures optimal professional conditions and respect for the deceased,” the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement. “Bodies determined not [to] be those of hostages are returned with dignity and respect.”
At least 24,927 people have been killed in Gaza and 62,388 wounded since the war began, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Israel estimates that about 1,200 people were killed in Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack.
