The Times of Israel is liveblogging Monday’s events as they happen.

Another United Nations staff member has been detained in Yemen, bringing the number of the world body’s employees apprehended in recent days to six, a UN spokesperson says.

The latest detention comes after Houthi security forces entered several United Nations offices in Sanaa, Yemen, on Sunday, says Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for the UN secretary general.

He adds that the Houthis confiscated IT and communication equipment and assets.

The remains will then be taken to the Abu Kabir forensic institute in Tel Aviv for identification.

Hagit and Ruby Chen, the parents of slain hostage soldier Itay Chen, whose body has yet to be returned from Gaza, speak at an online gathering of Shift 101, the silent protest group that usually meets in front of public institutions in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

The Chens ask those at the gathering to continue attending protests and rallies, as they have dwindled in numbers since the release of the last 20 living hostages.

As participants tell the Chens they hope that Itay’s body is returned soon, so as to offer them a sense of closure, Hagit says she is not sure how she’ll feel.
