00:00 The death toll continues to climb in Gaza as Israel continues to bomb the Strip,
00:04 while Israelis take to the streets to demand the return of the hostages.
00:09 An Israeli airstrike on Damascus has killed at least five people
00:14 after destroying a building used by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps.
00:17 The US Navy has launched more airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen after the group
00:26 continues to attack shipping. As Israeli rockets continue to rain down on Gaza,
00:36 the Palestinian Health Ministry reported 165 people were killed and 280 wounded.
00:42 The authorities in the enclave say Israel's offensive has killed nearly 25,000 Palestinians
00:50 so far, most of them women and children. On Saturday, the Israeli army released footage
00:56 claiming it showed their troops operating in the city of Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip.
01:01 Meanwhile in Caesarea, dozens of protesters rallied in front of the Prime Minister's home
01:07 to demand the return of Israeli hostages held in Gaza. They have been gathered since Friday
01:12 to demand the government secure their loved ones' release, however the military forced them back.
01:19 This comes with Prime Minister Netanyahu took to social media saying he would not
01:23 "compromise on full Israeli control over the Strip" and that it was "contrary to a Palestinian law".
01:30 Iran has confirmed the death of a Revolutionary Guard commander and his deputy
01:39 following an Israeli strike on Damascus.
01:41 According to local media, the men were members of the Guard's Expeditionary Quds Force.
01:47 The air strike on the Syrian capital targeted a building that was regularly used by the group.
01:53 The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least five people were killed in the missile
01:59 attack which struck while officials from groups backed by Iran were reportedly holding a meeting.
02:04 The strike comes as tensions in the region are widening as Israel continues its assault on Gaza.
02:12 Its relentless bombing campaign has killed nearly 25,000 Palestinians,
02:16 according to the health authorities there.
02:18 Over the past few weeks, Israel has been trading rocket fire with Syria and Lebanon
02:24 along their shared borders and that's fueling fears that the conflict could spread.
02:28 Iran says this rocket launched a satellite into its highest orbit yet on Saturday.
02:38 If true, it will raise Western concerns that the technology for Iran's ballistic missiles
02:43 have also been improved. Almost at the same time, Israel was carrying out an
02:48 air strike on senior Iranian commanders meeting in the Syrian capital Damascus.
02:52 The United States has previously said that Iran's satellite launches
02:56 defy a UN Security Council resolution.
02:59 It's called on Tehran not to develop its nuclear-capable missiles any further.
03:04 The US Navy says it launched new air strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen late on Friday.
03:16 It said it destroyed three anti-ship missile positions which were preparing to fire.
03:22 It was the sixth barrage against the Iranian back group by the US and allies in the Red Sea.
03:26 Early on Friday, the Houthis claimed to have hit a US-owned tanker, but the US denied their claim.
03:34 On Thursday, President Joe Biden acknowledged that the strikes haven't yet stopped the Houthis
03:40 attacking merchant shipping. They've been occurring almost daily, forcing shipping
03:44 to take the longer route around Africa. The Houthis insist that they only attack
03:49 ships "linked to Israel", although it's clear they are targeting others too.
03:54 On Friday, Houthi leaders told Russian media that all other vessels,
03:59 including Russian and Chinese, would not be targeted.
04:02 The SpaceX Flight Axiom Mission 3 docked at the International Space Station on Saturday.
04:14 Italian, Swedish and Turkish astronauts were on board.
04:17 The Falcon rocket blasted off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center late afternoon on Thursday.
04:24 The three men on board will spend two weeks conducting experiments and collecting data
04:29 on both human physiology and technological advances. It's costing each of the three
04:34 countries around 50 million euros or more and is the third such journey organized by the company.
