Maduro Flown to U.S. After Daring Overnight Operation as Trump Announces Transitional Control of Venezuela

                                                    Deposed  Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro Former Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro arrived in the United States after a dramatic overnight military operation in Caracas that resulted in his capture and removal from the country. U.S. forces extracted Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, during a surprise nighttime strike that President Donald Trump described as an unprecedented action “not seen since World War II.” Maduro was transported first to the USS Iwo Jima and later flown to New York, where he is now being held ahead of federal proceedings on narco‑terrorism and drug‑trafficking charges—allegations he denies.

Rocket from Yemen Strikes Tel Aviv, Injuring 16, as Palestinians Mourn 19 Dead in Gaza

 

In the early hours of Saturday, a rocket fired from Yemen struck an area of Tel Aviv, leaving 16 people injured by shattered glass from nearby windows. The Israeli military reported that an additional 14 people sustained minor injuries as they rushed to shelters when air raid sirens sounded before the projectile hit. This attack comes less than two days after a series of Israeli airstrikes on Yemen's Houthi rebel-held capital, Sanaa, and the port city of Hodeida, which killed at least nine people.

The Houthis, an Iran-backed group in Yemen, have launched more than 200 missiles and drones during the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. The Houthis have also been attacking shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, stating that these attacks will not cease until there is a ceasefire in Gaza.

Meanwhile, in Gaza, mourners held funerals for 19 people, including 12 children, who were killed in separate Israeli strikes on Friday and overnight. One of the strikes hit a residential building in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, killing at least seven Palestinians, including five children and one woman, and injuring 16 others. Another strike in Gaza City killed 12 people, including seven children and two women. Gaza's Health Ministry reported that 21 people had been killed over the past 24 hours.

The escalating violence has drawn international concern, with U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warning that both sides' attacks risk further escalation in the region and undermine U.N. mediation efforts. The situation remains tense as both sides continue to exchange fire, causing significant civilian casualties and damage.
