UN: Israel Destroys 800,000 WFP Fuel Liters in Yemen

A report issued Sunday by the UN World Food Program (WFP) revealed that Israeli airstrikes on Yemen’s Al-Hudaydah Port on July 20 destroyed around 800,000 liters of fuel belonging to the organization.

“Close to 800,000 liters of WFP-owned fuel for its on-demand services was destroyed by airstrikes on Al Hodeidah Port on 20 July,” the report on the humanitarian situation in Yemen said, using an alternate spelling for the port.

The airstrikes on the port, which is under the control of the Houthi group, caused numerous casualties and material losses estimated at $20 million.

The strikes followed a Houthi drone attack on the city of Tel Aviv a day earlier which killed one Israeli and injured nine others in response to Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Yemeni officials initially reported six deaths and dozens of injuries.

Following the attack, the bodies of nine workers were recovered from the port and fuel depots according to Anadolu.

Israeli Army: 18 Soldiers Dead, 910 Injured in Lebanon

The Israeli army revealed, Tuesday, its total casualty figures in the ongoing battles with the resistance movement in southern Lebanon since fighting resumed in 2 March, 2026

The army reported in an official statement that the deaths of 18 officers and soldiers, along with 910 that were wounded, during the continued clashes in southern part of the country and as reported by the the Palestinian Information Center.

The fierce battles in south Lebanon have been unexpected because of their intensity. The Israeli army noted that 190 officers and soldiers were wounded just in the past two weeks; it specified that 114 soldiers sustained moderate injuries, while 52 others were in serious condition.

However, the Israeli army put on a stiff upper lip. It claimed to have destroyed Hezbollah missile launchers, which it said were aimed at occupied Palestine and its forces were in forward deployment mode in southern Lebanon.

It also claimed to have killed 15 Hezbollah members, alleging they posed a “threat” to its forces, and announced the discovery of a weapons cache in the town of Rashaf, according to its statement released Tuesday evening.

The Israeli occupation army continues its intensive attacks on Lebanon as part of an ongoing aggression that has resulted in thousands of martyrs and wounded, in addition to the displacement of more than 1.6 million people.

Despite the fragile ceasefire that came into effect on April 17, the occupation forces continue their incursions into southern Lebanon, along with carrying out systematic demolitions and destruction of homes and buildings, and forcibly displacing residents from dozens of villages, under the pretext of targeting what they describe as “military infrastructure and Hezbollah elements.”
