"US Targets Houthi Assets in Yemen Amid Middle East Crisis"
The US military destroyed Houthi military assets in Yemen, targeting drones and a ground control station, in response to threats to merchant and Navy vessels. Israeli airstrikes were reported in Gaza, while the EU plans to launch a naval mission in the Red Sea. President Biden imposed financial sanctions on Israeli settlers involved in attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank, and expressed commitment to bringing peace to Gaza and Israel. The UN's Palestinian refugee agency, UNRWA, faces potential shutdown due to funding suspension, and a U.N. assessment suggests it may take 70 years for Gaza's economy to recover from the war. Secretary of State Blinken is set to return to the Middle East for further discussions on hostage release and aid for Gaza.
