U.S. forces destroyed three Houthi anti-ship missiles that were aimed at targets in the Red Sea and were ready to be launched, U.S. Central Command said in a statement. The U.S. strikes were conducted in self-defense, it added. Mohammed Abdulsalam, a spokesman for the Houthis, told Reuters that their attacks would remain focused on blockading Israel and retaliating for U.S.-led airstrikes, and wouldn’t expand into a new fight against Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

The Israel Defense Forces confirmed reports that it had removed bodies from gravesites in Gaza in the ongoing search for hostages. “The hostage identification process, conducted at a secure and alternative location, ensures optimal professional conditions and respect for the deceased,” the IDF said in a statement. “Bodies determined not be those of hostages are returned with dignity and respect.”
President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke by phone Friday about efforts to release hostages held by Hamas, according to a White House readout. Biden emphasized Israel’s responsibility to “reduce civilian harm and protect the innocent,” the White House said.
At least 24,762 people have been killed in Gaza and 62,108 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.
The number of Palestinians killed since Oct. 7 last year is now more than triple the number of those killed in hostilities between Israelis and Palestinians during the previous 15 years combined, according to a U.N. report. Between 2008 and Oct. 7, 2023, more than 6,500 Palestinians and 300 Israelis had been killed.
