(AP) — An airstrike has killed three children in Yemen, according to Iranian-backed Houthi rebels. They accuse Saudi Arabia of launching the attack in Yemen’s southwestern province of Dhamar. The Houthi-run health ministry said Saturday that the strikes hit houses in al-Ar village, killing a child aged 8 and two aged 10 and wounding more than a dozen people. Meanwhile, a journalist is undergoing surgery after being attacked by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank. Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine suffered severe injuries, including a nearly detached finger and broken vertebrae, during the assault on Friday.
