Escalating Attacks on U.S. Forces in Mideast Raise Concerns of Spreading Gaza War

The Pentagon conducted an airstrike on an ammunition depot used by Iran-backed militia groups in Syria, following a series of attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria. Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed to have shot down a U.S. drone and fired missiles towards Israel, vowing more attacks until Israel stops its aggression against Palestinians. The United Nations' top relief official warned that Israel's assault on Gaza could ignite a wider war across the Middle East.
