TEHRAN — Fifty-five people were injured early Sunday in a collision between a bus and a truck in northeastern Iran’s Khorasan Razavi province, the official news agency IRNA reported.

Shortly after the incident, which occurred on a road between Sabzevar and Neyshabur counties, four ambulance vehicles and medical emergency personnel were sent to the scene, IRNA quoted Gholam-Abbas Kafi, director of the emergency medical services and incidents department of Sabzevar University of Medical Sciences, as saying.

Kafi said 50 injured passengers received first aid on the spot, and the other five were transferred to a hospital in Sabzevar, located 230 km west of the provincial capital Mashhad.

Hossein Mishmast, provincial traffic police commander, said the incident occurred at 5:00 a.m. local time (0130 GMT) and that the bus was carrying Afghan passengers returning from a pilgrimage to Iraq, according to the report.

Mishmast attributed the cause of the collision to the fatigue and drowsiness of the bus driver, an Afghan national.

JERUSALEM — Three people have been shot and killed near the border crossing between the West Bank and Jordan, Israeli first responders said Sunday.

Israeli police said the shooter was killed, without providing further details. The border crossing is used by Palestinians, Israelis and international tourists.

Israel’s Magen David Adom rescue service was at the scene and confirmed the toll.

The Israeli-occupied West Bank has seen a surge of violence since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack out of Gaza triggered the war there.

Israel has launched near-daily military arrest raids into dense Palestinian residential areas, and there has also been a rise in settler violence and Palestinian attacks on Israelis.

SANAA — The U.S.-British coalition launched late Saturday three air strikes on the eastern Ibb governorate in southern Yemen, Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported Sunday.

The airstrikes, which targeted the Maytham area east of the Ibb governorate, came about two hours after Yemen’s Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sarea said they had shot down a U.S. MQ-9 drone over the northeastern Marib province.

The drone was “carrying out hostile acts” when it was intercepted, marking the eighth of its kind shot down by the armed group “in victory for the oppressed Palestinian people and in response to the American-British aggression against Yemen,” Sarea added.

The U.S. side has yet to confirm either the airstrikes or the drone incident.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Central Command said Friday on X that its forces had destroyed two Houthi anti-ship cruise missiles, a Houthi ground control station, and an uncrewed Houthi boat in the Red Sea in the past 24 hours.

Since November last year, the Houthis have targeted Israeli-linked ships to show solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

In response, the U.S.-British naval coalition has conducted regular air raids and missile strikes against Houthi targets to deter the group since January.

JERUSALEM — Two battalion commanders of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement were killed in a recent Israeli airstrike in the central Gaza Strip, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement on Saturday.

The IDF said that Israeli aircraft on Thursday carried out a “precise strike” on a command and control center in the city of Deir al-Balah used by Hamas and PIJ militants. The attack killed “a number of” militants, including Abdallah Khatib, commander of the PIJ’s Southern Deir al-Balah Battalion, who commanded the battalion’s operations in the Oct. 7 attacks in southern Israel, according to the statement.

The IDF also reported that Hatem Abu Aljidian, commander of the PIJ’s Eastern Deir al-Balah Battalion who was involved in planning attacks against Israeli forces during the conflict, was also killed in the strike.

Israel launched a large-scale offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip to retaliate against a Hamas rampage in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, during which about 1,200 people were killed and about 250 taken hostage.

The Palestinian death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip has risen to 40,939, Gaza-based health authorities said in a statement on Saturday.
