US warship shoots down missiles from Yemen thought to be heading for Israel
A US Navy warship takes out three missiles that had been fired from Yemen and were heading north, US officials say.
The officials say the USS Carney, a Navy destroyer, was in the Red Sea and intercepted the three missiles. It wasn’t immediately certain if they were aimed at Israel, though Hebrew media reports suggested that Israeli defense officials believe that they were.
One of the officials says the US does not believe the missiles were aimed at the ship.
Iranian-backed Houthi rebels have expressed support for the Palestinians and threatened Israel.
US says it is in talks with Israel, UN, Egypt to establish ‘safe zones’ in Gaza
The United States is in talks with Israel, the UN and Egypt about establishing safe zones inside Gaza “where innocent civilians can be safe from harm’s way,” US State Department spokesperson Matt Miller says during a press briefing.
This is one of newly appointed US ambassador for Mideast humanitarian issues David Satterfield’s main objectives, in addition to securing the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza from Egypt.
Miller notes that such safe zones are critical, as the US recognizes that regional leaders are strongly opposed to evacuating Palestinians out of Gaza.
The State Department spokesperson says the US is still working to secure the evacuation of American citizens who want to leave Gaza, but does not have any updates regarding that effort.

“Hezbollah will bear the consequences for all the actions,” he says.

After reading this Article, this comes to mind "If other countries in said Region don't want to help Palestinian refugee's, then why don't they STOP funding Terrorist's, as reputed?
Nothing makes sense with promoting evil, and they must know they are much of the problem when they do, IMO??? It would be the right thing to do if the countries eradicated their Terrorist's among them, right?
So if Israel defends itself against Hamas, everyone should support Israel,
innocent folks affected, and find resolutions with those other countries support, in my opinion! Value/respect life, love, seek peace, hope, and everyone strive for good lives; Pray lots for other countries to support peace in the Region, not any criminals like Hamas & other's! Thanks to those Allies that are supporting Israel, along with all the innocent people suffering from this evil by Hamas!

His hand shall be against every man,
And every man’s hand against him.
And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.”
