✒️ Parliament has been accused of an “outrageous abuse” that is “worthy of the Trump White House”, after refusing to issue us a media pass. Thousands have signed a petition calling on the government to give us access. Help defend press freedom, sign today. secure.declassifieduk.org/page/178447/...

Israel’s mass murder of 31 Yemeni journalists and media workers happened over a week ago. There has been zero coverage of this strike in the western press. Zero.

Israel’s targeted strikes on two newspaper offices in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, which killed 31 journalists and media support workers on September 10th, marks the deadliest global attack in 16 years and the second deadliest single attack on the press ever recorded. cpj.org/2025/09/isra...

Hundreds attend the mass funeral of 31 journalist and media workers killed in an Israeli strike in Sana’a. apnews.com/article/jour...

Israeli strikes were carried out when staff of the 26 September newspaper were printing the paper. “Staff were gathered at the publishing house to prepare for distribution, significantly increasing the number of people present in the compound” www.hrw.org/news/2025/09...

Yemeni Journalists' Syndicate identifies 10 journalists and media workers killed by Israel in strike on Wednesday: ‎▪️Abdulaziz Al-Sheikh ‎▪️Abbas Al-Dailami ‎▪️Youssef Al-Din ‎▪️Abdullah Al-Bahri ‎▪️Mohammed Al-Amaysi ‎▪️Abdullah Al-Harazi ‎▪️Murad Al-Faqih ‎▪️Ali Al-Sharai ‎▪️Ali Al-Aqil ‎▪️Jamal Al-Aadi

116 civilian casualties in five Israeli strikes in Yemen in August including the assassination of the Sana’a-based Prime Minister, nine ministers and two cabinet officials where up to 10 munitions were deployed on a political gathering.

The irony of the photo above this headline. The look on my face was of anger + sadness. Placards of every journalist killed by Israel were handed out. But the number of dead journalists outnumbered those willing to show up in support our Palestinian colleagues. Shame novaramedia.com/2025/09/04/b...

I was honoured to speak at the vigil for Palestinian journalists killed during Israel’s assault on Gaza, organised by the London Freelance chapel of @NUJofficial. It was a shame a far right activist tried to disrupted the event. It matters not; hundreds of us turned out in solidarity.

Jeremy Scahill on Western media's complicity in Israel's murdering of journalists in Gaza.

Very well said

Israel has normalised killing journalists, like it normalised killing medical workers, like it normalised destroying hospitals and schools, like it normalised killing the equivalent of a classroom of children per day. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Such a relief.

In case I have any followers in Norway -- my colleague Alec Luhn is missing after a solo hiking trip in the Folgefonna / Nedre Buarbreen area. The Red Cross is searching, but if anyone has seen Alec by chance, they can call the local police at 02800 or email [email protected] with info.

Such terrible news. Holding out hope they find ‪@alecluhn.bsky.social‬

This must stop. Israel must stop this mass starvation. Our lawmakers must do more. “Since AFP was founded in August 1944, some of our journalists were killed in conflict, others were wounded or made prisoner, but there is no record of us ever having had to watch our colleagues starving to death.”

The Trump administration has called off a bombing campaign that failed to achieve its stated goal of destroying the Ansar Allah movement. But steps taken by Trump to restrict aid are continuing to aggravate the dire humanitarian situation in Yemen.

BREAKING: 82% of Those Killed in Gaza Since March Are Civilians, Israeli Military Admits

Very good discussion here.

But the bad news on the good trade news is contained in Arthur Snell’s Behind The Lines podcast, in which Iona Craig argues that the price 🇬🇧 likely paid for being treated well on trade is complicity in Trump’s escalating & irresponsibility targeted bombing campaign in Yemen. bsky.app/profile/snel...

In the middle of lots of Yemen-related events last week, I sat down with @snellarthur.bsky.social to try and disentangle what's been happening and to try and anticipate what's next.

Huge pleasure to speak to @ionacraig.com - one of the very few journalists who has consistently covered #Yemen and the #Houthis for more than a decade about recent events, including the US-UK airstrikes against the Houthis as well as the wider regional politics. shows.acast.com/65196b0b1488...

As the great Mark Hunter said back in 1990: “Remember my dear, I can smell a lie like a fart in a car.” www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Great article by my old friend. "The change in tactics pose a question for Keir Starmer’s government, which has signed on to a far more deadly campaign without a vote in parliament. There is also a question for the US and UK on the legal justification for the attacks against the Houthis."

“British involvement goes even further…the RAF has been facilitating Trump’s bombing campaign from the start. RAF KC2 Voyagers have carried out at least 25 flights to provide air-to-air refuelling for the USS Harry S Truman…that includes the night of the strike on detained migrants, which killed 68”

First time in a long time of writing for a printed newspaper. observer.co.uk/news/interna...

Geolocations: POV 1: 31.996083, 34.867276 POV 2: 31.996647, 34.86796 Impact: ~31.997244, 34.868894 Large chunks of soil ejected to ~125 meters, with smaller portions as far as POV 1. ~150 meters to a parking lot. This missed being a much different story by not very much.

One very important thing I learned while reporting this piece: “The underlying rationale of protecting international trade and commerce is not a justification under international law for the use of force.” - Ioannis Kalpouzos, visiting professor, Harvard Law School. observer.co.uk/news/interna...

NB: Last successful Houthi attack on commercial vessel (recorded by JMIC) was Oct. 2024. Last attempted attack was an Israeli ship, 18 Nov. 2024. Single incident in Dec. was attempted on supply vessel for US navy. Arguing strikes are to stop Houthi attacks in Red Sea doesn't hold water (excuse pun).

Kier Starmer follows in Rishi Sunak’s footsteps. The UK rejoins the US in strikes in Yemen. After more than 20 flights by RAF Voyagers since 15 March, supporting the US with air-to-air refuelling, Britain joins Trumps bombing of Yemen. uk.news.yahoo.com/uk-joins-us-...

More than 500 civilians have been killed and injured in Trump’s bombing campaign in Yemen. The strike on Ras Isa Port on 18 April resulted in one of the worst strikes for civilian harm in a decade of monitoring by @yemendataproject.org. Just three strikes (Saudi/UAE) caused more civilian casualties.

🚨A sweeping crackdown on posts on Instagram and Facebook that are critical of Israel—or even vaguely supportive of Palestinians—was directly orchestrated by the government of Israel, according to internal Meta data obtained by @dropsitenews.com www.dropsitenews.com/p/leaked-dat...

March data is out: More civilians were killed in 17 days of US strikes in March than in a year of bombings under Biden. At least 28 civilians killed and 66 injured in 97 US strikes from 15 to 31 March, in the worst month for civilian harm in air dropped bombs since the Saudi air war in Jan. 2022

In March, Israel restarted their bombing of Gaza. Trump launched the largest military operation of his presidency, and then there was that group chat. Some reflections on a tumultuous month for Yemen and the choices ahead. www.patreon.com/posts/125708...

The Real Outrage About the Yemen Signal Group Is That It Called for Attack on Civilian Home theintercept.com/2025/03/26/s...

You can also add the STC, multiple Salafi militias, and the RSF in Yemen to that list.

We asked @ionacraig.com for a reality check on the new US bombing campaign in Yemen — @stephenproducer.bsky.social theworld.org/segments/202...

Trump on first strikes he launched on Yemen on night of 15-16 March 2025, killing 25 civilians: “The attack was unbelievably successful.” Trump on his first military operation aboard on 27 January 2017, which killed more than 20 civilians including 9 children and a Navy SEAL: “Highly successful”

Let’s not forget, those war crimes Waltz celebrated were enabled by the British RAF.

“Waltz's text is a confession” of a war crime.

Michael Waltz's fist bump and fire emojis were celebrating the killing of at least 25 Yemeni civilians including four children in American strikes on the night of 15-16 March.

Unlike The Yemen War Plan

Hours before he was killed by Israel, Hossam Shabat filed his last report for @dropsitenews.com, “Report from the Frontline of Israel’s War of Annihilation.” We are publishing Hossam’s story along with a deeply moving tribute to Hossam by Sharif Abdel Kouddous: www.dropsitenews.com/p/hossam-sha...

Israeli settlers beat up one of the Palestinian co-directors of the Oscar-winning film “No Other Land” in the occupied West Bank on Monday, and he was then detained by the Israeli military, activists on the scene said.

The fourth British RAF flight to support Trump’s airstrikes in Yemen is currently underway. The Voyager air tanker is now on its way back from the USS Harry S Truman aircraft carrier, where fighter jets carrying out strikes in Yemen are being launched from.

“Before this genocide started, I was a young college student studying journalism. Little did I know I would be given one of the hardest jobs in the world: to cover the genocide of my own people.” - Hossam Shabat, killed today by Israel.

The first 27 pages of the identified dead in Gaza are names of children under 1 year old. 27 pages. Let that sink in.

These are just ppl who have been ID'ed by rescue & health workers who are also being killed in unprecedented numbers despite their targeting being a war crime. UN says 1000s more are dead under the rubble. As UN’s Tom Fletcher noted, in Gaza dogs are “fat” b/c they feed on corpses. Min. 50,000 dead
