Israel-Gaza war live updates: IDF says 21 soldiers killed in one of deadliest attacks on Israeli forces

The United States and Britain, with the support of four allies, launched new airstrikes on eight Houthi targets in Yemen, heightening fears of a prolonged, retaliatory military campaign from the Iranian-backed militant group.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated his opposition to the two-state solution backed by the United States, putting him at odds with the Biden administration and other allies. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby had earlier said that Biden is “under no illusions” about “how elusive” a two-state solution would be.

The U.S. military identified the two Navy SEALs who were lost at sea during a Jan. 11 mission to intercept Iranian weapons bound for militants in Yemen. Christopher J. Chambers, 37, and Nathan Gage Ingram, 27, were declared dead after a 10-day search-and-rescue operation for them was halted.

At least 23 U.S. citizens have been killed in the Israel-Gaza war since Oct. 7, the State Department said Monday. All but two had served in the Israel Defense Forces, and one had served in the Israeli National Police.

The Gaza Health Ministry said at least 25,295 people have been killed and 63,000 injured in the Strip since the war began. Israel estimates that about 1,200 people were killed in Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack.
