Yemen’s Houthi rebels have taken the strategic Red Sea port city of Mokha, bringing them closer to controlling key shipping routes. That’s according to two officials. Meanwhile, an Israeli strike in northern Gaza has killed at least four people, including two children. The bodies were taken Thursday to Shifa Hospital, where officials identified those killed as a husband and wife along with their two daughters, aged 8 and 12. A neighbor said the family was sleeping when the strike hit their home. The Israeli military in a statement said the strike in Beit Lahiya killed a militant who had taken part in attacks against its forces. It did not give details.
