    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Joint UK-US airstrikes targeted nearly 30 Houthi positions in the early hours of Friday with the support of Western allies including Australia and Canada.

    A day later, the US Central Command said it carried out its latest strike on a Houthi radar site in Yemen using Tomahawk land attack cruise missiles.

    UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron said Britain had “no choice” but to take military action against the Houthis in Yemen, in response to their attacks on ships in the Red Sea.

    Writing in the Telegraph, he said UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak had agreed to a request by the US to assist with the “limited and targeted” strikes.

    Some major shipping companies have since ceased operations in the region, while insurance costs have risen 10 times since early December.

    Israel’s retaliatory military campaign of air strikes and ground operations against Hamas in Gaza have killed 23,843 Palestinians so far, according to the Hamas-run health ministry on Saturday, with thousands more believed dead under rubble.
