가자전쟁 100일째도 격전 이란 “미 후티 공격 반인권적” 헤즈볼라 “홍해 전쟁터로 만들 것” The Israel-Hamas war entered its one-hundredth day over the weekend amid threats of a wider conflict. Tensions remain high in the Red Sea as the U.S. launched more strikes against Yemen's Houthis while sending a “private message“ to Iran. Lee Eun-jin reports. On Saturday night, the events of October 7th were commemorated by thousands of people in Tel Aviv, including families of those killed or kidnapped, carrying posters and wearing T-shirts featuring the faces of their loved ones. Just after dawn 100 days ago, thousands of heavily armed Hamas fighters stormed through the Gaza border fence in several places and killed more than 1,200 people. According to Gaza's health ministry, Israel's subsequent attacks against Hamas have led to 23-thousand-938 dead and some 60-thousand 582 injured to date. Without making a distinction between civilians and combatants, the ministry says roughly 70 percent of the dead are women and children. Nearly 8-thousand more people are reported to be missing, presumed dead under rubble. Meanwhile, a day after the U.S. and UK launched airstrikes targeting Houthi rebels who have been attacking shipping in the Red Sea, the U.S. military struck another Houthi-controlled site in Yemen early on Saturday. U.S. Central Command said the “follow-on action“ was conducted by the Navy destroyer USS Carney using Tomahawk land attack missiles, and that the missile strike was based on the determination that commercial vessels in the Red Sea were at risk. While Iran continues to deny its involvement in attacks by the Houthis in the Red Sea, Tehran is suspected of supplying the Houthis with weapons, and the U.S. says Iranian intelligence is critical to enabling the Houthis to target ships. U.S. President Joe Biden said that after the latest strike on the Houthis, the U.S. delivered a “private message“ to Iran about the Houthis in Yemen. Without giving details, he said the message was delivered privately and that the U.S. is “well prepared“. Conflict in the region could widen as Yemen's Houthis have vowed retaliation and U.S. military and White House officials said they expect the Houthis to try to strike back.
