The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center's (KSrelief) Masam Project, which focuses on clearing mines in Yemen, successfully dismantled a total of 636 mines in various regions during the fifth week of October.

This included 4 anti-personnel mines, 36 anti-tank mines, and 596 unexploded ordnance items.
Since the project began, a total of 468,670 mines have been cleared, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
Saudi Arabia remains committed to removing all mines from Yemeni territory, as these explosives pose a significant risk of loss of life and injury to innocent people, the news agency said.

More than 3,000 people have been killed in Lebanon during 13 months of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, Lebanon's Health Ministry said Monday. At least 13,492 have been injured.

Hezbollah began firing rockets into northern Israel the day after Hamas’ surprise attack into Israel on Oct. 7, 2023 ignited the war in Gaza. Hezbollah and Hamas are both allied with Iran.

The conflict dramatically escalated on Sept. 23 with intense Israeli airstrikes on south and east Lebanon as well as Beirut’s southern suburbs, leaving hundreds dead and leading to the displacement of nearly 1.2 million people.

Israel began a ground invasion of south Lebanon on Oct. 1, causing wide destruction in border villages but making little advances on the ground inside Lebanon.

In Israel, 72 people have been killed from Hezbollah attacks, including 30 soldiers.
