The Saudi-led Arab coalition said on Tuesday it had destroyed an explosive-laden boat, launched by the terrorist Iran-backed Houthi militias, before an imminent attack off the Yemeni port of Salif.

The coalition added that the Houthis “continue to threaten maritime traffic and international trade.”

It said the Houthis are exploiting the Stockholm agreement on Hodeidah in order to carry out hostile and terrorist attacks from the coastal province.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said on Monday Israeli forces killed two people, including a 13-year-old, in the occupied West Bank.

The Israeli military said the two had thrown explosives at forces overnight near the Palestinian town of Yabad and that the forces had responded by opening fire.

The Health Ministry identified the two as Mohammed Hamarsheh, 13, and Ahmad Zayd, 20. It did not disclose details about the circumstances behind their deaths.

It was the latest bloodshed in the West Bank, which has faced a surge of violence throughout the 13-month war in Gaza. The Health Ministry says nearly 800 people have been killed, with more than 160 of them 18 and younger.

Many have been killed in fighting with the Israeli military, but Palestinians throwing rocks and others not involved in confrontations have also been killed. There has also been an increase in Palestinian attacks against Israelis in the West Bank since the war in Gaza began.
