Is Nimisha Priya’s Death Sentence Really Cancelled? What’s the Truth?

The Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has denied claims that the death sentence of Nimisha Priya, a Kerala nurse convicted of murder in Yemen, has been revoked. Earlier, the office of Grand Mufti Kanthapuram AP Abubakar Musliyar stated that her sentence had been officially cancelled following a high-level meeting in Sanaa. However, they later clarified that no official written confirmation has been received from Yemeni authorities. Nimisha, who moved to Yemen in 2008, had entered a business partnership with Yemeni national Talal Abdo Mahdi. Their relationship deteriorated after alleged harassment, and in an attempt to retrieve her passport, she reportedly sedated Mahdi, resulting in his death from a suspected overdose in 2017. Convicted in 2018, she was sentenced to death in 2020. Although her execution was initially scheduled for July 16, it was halted following diplomatic appeals by Indian officials and religious leaders, leading to a temporary suspension of the sentence.

The victim’s family has rejected an ₹8.5 crore blood money offer. The Supreme Court recently heard a plea from a support group urging the Centre to negotiate diplomatically.

Houthi Missile Shot Down Over Israel | Sirens Sound In Tel Aviv | Ben Gurion Airport Targeted | N18G

On June 3, sirens sounded across Tel Aviv, central Israel, Jerusalem, and parts of the West Bank after a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted by Israeli air defense systems. The Houthis, an Iran-backed group in Yemen, claimed responsibility, stating the missile targeted Ben Gurion Airport. The attack occurred shortly before the start of the Jewish holiday of Shavuot. Residents were alerted in advance through mobile push notifications from the Home Front Command. No injuries or damage were reported in this incident. Since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in October 2023, the Houthis have launched dozens of missile and drone attacks at Israel, most of which have been intercepted. A rare successful strike earlier this month caused minor injuries near Ben Gurion Airport. The latest missile fire came in response to an Israeli airstrike last week on Sanaa International Airport in Yemen, which destroyed a plane used by the Houthis.

Yemen's Houthis claim to attack U.S. and Israeli targets | N18G

On January 6, Yemen’s Houthi military spokesperson, Yahya Sarea, claimed that the group had targeted U.S. and Israeli assets. The Houthis reportedly struck the American aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman, located north of the Red Sea, and thwarted a U.S. attempt to attack Yemen. Additionally, they claimed responsibility for attacks on military facilities in the Israeli cities of Jaffa and Ashkelon. The Iran-aligned Houthis have controlled most of Yemen, including its capital Sanaa, since taking power in 2014 and early 2015. They have been increasingly involved in Middle Eastern conflicts, with their actions framed as part of a broader campaign to support Palestinians in the ongoing Gaza war. The group's expanding military operations and involvement in regional politics highlight its growing influence in the Middle East, reflecting shifting alliances and intensifying hostilities between the Houthis, the U.S., and Israel.

Israel intercepts rocket launched from Yemen, strikes at Hezbollah launchers in Lebanon

On January 3, sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem around 04:30 am local time due to a missile launched from Yemen, which was intercepted by the Israeli Air Force. The Israeli military warned of potential falling shrapnel from the interception, and explosions were heard in both cities. The missile had crossed into Israeli territory before being intercepted, with shrapnel landing in Modi'in, central Israel. The missile attack is attributed to Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi militants, who have previously launched missiles and drones towards Israel in what they describe as acts of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. In a related development, Israel’s military released footage showing airstrikes on medium-range rocket launchers at a Hezbollah military site in southern Lebanon. The strikes followed Israel's request to the Lebanese army to destroy the launchers, which went unacted upon, prompting Israeli retaliation. The Lebanese army has not yet commented on the matter.

Israel to persist until job is done, says Netanyahu after strikes at Houthi targets in Yemen | N18G

On December 26, 2024, Israel launched airstrikes targeting multiple facilities linked to the Iran-aligned Houthi movement in Yemen, including Sanaa International Airport, Red Sea ports, and power stations in Hodeidah, Hezyaz, and Ras Kanatib. Houthi media reported at least six casualties, with two killed at the airport and one at the ports. Destruction at the Hodeidah power station and Sanaa Airport was shown in video footage, verified by Reuters using satellite imagery. The Houthis, who have previously launched missile and drone attacks on Israel in solidarity with Palestinians, did not comment.
