Israel’s military has launched additional airstrikes against what it describes as Houthi-linked sites where drone and missile attacks are launched against Israel and its allies in Yemen’s Hodeidah port.
Defense Minister Israel Katz stated on Monday that the military was “forcefully retaliating any attempt to restore the terrorist infrastructure that had previously been attacked.”
The Israeli military claimed that the port provides the Houthis with weapons to carry out terrorist attacks on Israel and its allies.
Later, the Houthi movement claimed responsibility for drone and missile attacks on Israeli airports, Ashdod, and Jaffa, as well as the control of large portions of northern Yemen.
Yahya Saree, a spokesman for the Houthi military, stated in a statement that the strikes were a direct response to Israel’s continued bombardment of Gaza and the attacks on Hodeidah.
He continued his operations until Israel stops its offensive against Gaza and lifts the siege, noting that “the drone attack successfully achieved its objectives.”
The Houthis have launched numerous attacks on shipping lanes in the Red Sea since Israel began its war against Gaza in October 2023, claiming they are showing solidarity with Palestinians there. Israel has repeatedly attacked Houthi targets, particularly in Hodeidah, a crucial port for goods and aid into Yemen.
Katz claimed that “the Houthis will pay a high price for firing missiles at Israel.”
The Houthis claimed responsibility for an Eternity C attack earlier this month that was blamed on maritime authorities and claimed four people had died.
With an incredibly kind gesture, Oasis threatened to axe gigs in Heaton Park and defied Manchester City Council’s alleged efforts to stop fans from gathering on “Gallagher Hill.” The public body responded by saying that it would stop fans from “Gladagher Hill.”

Oasis fans were left fuming when the council put up fences around ‘Gallagher Hill’ to stop ticketless fans from gathering to watch the Heaton Park gigs from a distance. Over the last few sold-out shows in Manchester, many took to the area to watch the large screens showing the concert, but Manchester City Council were reportedly not happy about it.
After 16 years apart, Liam and Noel Gallagher reunited at Heaton Park for five sold-out shows last week, each one drawing between 70 and 80 enthusiastic fans.
The 22-song set, which included hits like Morning Glory, Some Might Say, Cigarettes &, Alcohol, Supersonic, Live Forever, Wonderwall, and Champagne Supernova, was enhanced by massive 84m x 12m screens, the largest ever at a UK concert, with the biggest screens ever at a UK concert.
The atmosphere turned surreal as the rain cleared just as the band began, culminating in euphoric sing-alongs from all ages. Highlights included a heartfelt dedication to Caroline Aherne during Half The World Away, and Liam’s outspoken tribute to Pep Guardiola mid‑set, met with both cheers and boos.

Oasis thanked fans who had viewed from “Gallagher Hill,” an unofficial viewing location outside the venue, and thanked them for their support. The brothers had their own plans in store despite the council’s efforts to obstruct visibility.
The entertainment quickly came to an end when Manchester City Council placed fences around the hill to “dissuade people from gathering there” Councillor John Hacking instructed the group’s ticketless fans to head to the city center to “experience a real party atmosphere” rather than hang around the park.
Hacking remarked, “The steps being taken before the next concert regretfully mean the large screens behind the event stage will no longer be visible.”
According to Hacking, the council’s authority was “forced” to place the fences in order to safeguard the park’s safety, trees, livestock, grass, and other elements.

Furious fans at the time took to social media to denounce the decision, with one fan writing on X, a former Twitter user, saying “People can’t have fun in the UK anymore” and another saying, “Gigs sold out, why do they care?” Miserable t**ts”.
“Shame on Bury/Manchester council for blocking “Gallagher Hill.” denying as much joy as they can to people. Another slammed, “It’s no different than living in a high building where you can still see” from standing outside Heaton Park.
What harm did they cause by installing fences on Gallagher Hill, as another commenter claimed? They’ll find a different way to watch from afar, and I hope they do so we can visit this weekend.

Noel and Liam have now revealed that they decided to distribute 1, 000 free T-shirts to Gallagher Hill residents who are watching Sunday’s show.
Oasis made bold moves to stand by fans gathering for free on the now-iconic Gallagher Hill in response to the threat of having their final Manchester performance canceled.
After thousands of people assembled on the hill to listen in, Manchester City Council considered pulling the plug on their sold-out Heaton Park show, according to sources close to Liam and Noel. The Gallaghers were avoiding the view of nearby stage screens because the council had already set up fencing.
According to a source, “they were furious.” They won’t be instructed by the council’s “woke pen-pushers” what to do.

Liam and Noel considered installing a truck-mounted jumbo screen in an effort to draw attention to the hillside crowd, but health and safety concerns led to the abandonment of the idea, according to The Sun.
Instead, they broadcast the footage back to the park’s fans via a videographer who traveled up the hill during Sunday’s performance. Even Noel made the announcement, “We’re moving to Gallagher Hill.”
The brothers also contributed $1000 worth of limited-edition T-shirts to fans, many of whom were children, to the campaign. For the finale, Liam shouted out in the same way: “If you lot are listening on the hill… bring it on down.”
The hill fans were equally significant to Oasis. The source claimed that “it’s a band for the people.”

Fans were greatly moved by the famous brothers’ charitable gesture, with one tweeting, “I’m so happy both Liam and Noel acknowledged those who went to Gallagher Hill to hear them. Whether it’s rich or poor, we all need music. I’m happy that they understand what a wide range of people with different backgrounds means to Oasis.
Another added: “Thousands were there, all ages, bucket hats galore, all knew every lyric and were having a top time.” While someone else gushed: “So happy to be alive in a time when Noel and Liam Gallagher have proved that they are not just doing this for the money, they are really doing it for us fans and for the love of their music. Top lads as always.”

Reviewers praised Liam’s vocals, Noel’s stage presence, and a setlist that made nostalgia a long-awaited experience, calling the final performances “biblical” and “utterly breathtaking.” It was a once-in-a-lifetime moment for many fans that made Oasis’ return to their former king of British music.
The UK government has labeled the group a “terror organization.”
Demonstrations have taken place against the United Kingdom’s ban on Palestine Action , a pro-Palestinian protest group, and its designation as a “terrorist group.”
Following the group’s break-in and vandalization of military aircraft, the government took the necessary actions.
Critics claim that the speech freedom is violated because of the ban.
What are the implications then?

Malcolm-Jamal Warner, 54, the Cosby Show star, tragically passed away this week after disclosing all allegations of sexual assault against Bill Cosby.

Prior to his tragic drowning death, Malcolm-Jamal Warner had finally broken his silence about his complex emotions regarding Bill Cosby, nearly ten years after the comedian faced accusations of drugging and sexually assaulting over 50 women.
Although Warner, who passed away this week aged 54, had remained largely silent about the claims, he recently shared his thoughts during an interview with journalist Jemele Hill.
Hill directly questioned Warner about how Cosby’s criminal history had impacted his own income from The Cosby Show and whether he harboured any bitterness.
“No. I understand how things operate in this industry. For one, and that’s why the situation is so complex, man. I have no way of defending him or his actions. However, I am unable to completely throw him under the bus.
Warner gained fame portraying Theo Huxtable on the beloved sitcom which ran from 1984 to 1992, reports the Mirror US.
In 1986, he received an Emmy nomination for his performance, and he also hosted Saturday Night Live that year.

Cosby’s legal issues started in 2014 and 2015 when numerous women alleged shocking sexual assault and claimed the 88-year-old had allegedly drugged and assaulted them before attacking them.
According to CNN, Cosby was sentenced to up to 10 years in prison after being found guilty of three aggravated indecent assault counts in 2018.
Pennsylvania’s State Supreme Court overturned the conviction in 2021 even though Cosby’s reputation had already been severely damaged and The Cosby Show’s syndication broadcasts had stopped. Warner argued that the situation is more nuanced than the general public would have us believe despite the controversy.
Most people will never understand, he said, because it is so complex and has so many shades of gray.
Warner told the New York Post in 2018 that “I can see why some people can’t watch the show and enjoy it because of everything that’s happening right now.” However, I believe there is a generation of young people who have had their families or pursued higher education as a result of that show’s influence.
You can’t discount its impact on television culture and American culture, he continued, “so it’s kind of like that.”

Warner continued to be well-known, appearing in sitcoms like Malcolm and Eddie and playing serious roles, most recently in FOX’s The Resident.

Along with the 2015 film Robert Glasper Experiment starring Lalah Hathaway, he also received a Grammy for Best Traditional RandB Performance.
The actor was on a family vacation in Costa Rica when he tragically perished. The Costa Rican National Police confirmed to ABC News that Warner perished close to Cocles Beach in Limon, Costa Rica.
Mateo Retegui, the top goal scorer in the Serie A last year, has joined Al-Qadsiah from Atalanta, according to the Saudi club’s announcement on Monday.
The length of the deal, according to Italian media, has not been disclosed, but Al-Qadsiah have paid more than 60 million euros ($70 million) for the Italian attacker.
Since joining Atalanta in 2024, the 26-year-old has scored 25 goals in the league so far this year.
More than 230, 000 pages of documents relating to Martin Luther King Jr., a civil rights leader, were released by the administration of US President Donald Trump in 1968.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard referred to the president’s commitment to “complete transparency” in a statement released on Monday.
After taking office, Trump signed an executive order declassifying documents relating to the murders of King, former president John F. Kennedy, and former senator Robert F. Kennedy.
King’s records had been kept under a court-imposed seal since 1977 when the FBI first gathered them and gave them to the National Archives and Records Administration.
The National Archives released documents related to Robert F. Kennedy’s April 1968 murder and John F. Kennedy’s November 1963 assassination.
In Memphis, Tennessee, in April 1968, King was killed. Although King’s children have doubted that James Earl Ray was the killer, he was found guilty of the murder and passed away in 1998.
His family, which included his two living children, Martin III, 67, and Bernice, 62, had their own teams review the records before the release was made public. Those efforts continued as the digital trove was made public by the government.
The King children described their father’s assassination as a “captivating public curiosity for decades” in a lengthy statement released on Monday. However, the pair urged that “these files be viewed in full historical context” and highlighted the matter’s personal nature.
According to a joint statement from then-FBI director J Edgar Hoover, the civil rights leader was the target of an “invasive, predatory, and deeply disturbing disinformation and surveillance campaign” during his lifetime.
According to them, the FBI campaign was meant to “discredit, discredit, and destroy Dr. King’s reputation and the broader American Civil Rights Movement.” These actions were “intentionally assaults on the truth,” not just infringe on one’s privacy.
On Monday, it was unclear whether the release would bring any fresh insight into King’s life, the civil rights movement, or his murder.
The release date raises questions.
The most recent release serves as another alternative headline for Trump as he attempts to placate supporters upset about how his administration handled the sex trafficking investigation involving Jeffrey Epstein, who died while awaiting trial in 2019, during his first presidency, was handled. Trump obstinated from releasing the grand jury testimony on Friday, instead requiring the Department of Justice to release the entire case file.
Users accused the administration of disclosing King’s files on social media to distract from criticisms of how it handled the Epstein files.
This is unacceptable.
DNI Tulsi Gabbard is trying to deceive the public by releasing the Epstein files in opposition to the Trump administration’s policy of releasing them, against the wishes of his family.
Weaponizing…
Trump was not mentioned in Bernice King’s and Martin Luther King III’s statements on Monday. The administration had not made any comments on the release as of late on Monday afternoon.
