Security Guarantee

One of Kentucky Horsewear’s most iconic products, this sophisticated and chic Show Rug serves as a toasty-warm stable blanket, an under rug or a transport blanket. Beautifully made for your horse’s comfort, it has a 600 denier high-tenacity poly outer with diamond quilting. The surface is hardwearing and resistant to stall bedding.

This show rug also has 160 grams of odor-resistant fiberfill insulation and a luxuriously soft artificial rabbit skin lining. This lining creates tiny pockets of air that trap and maintain body heat and offer a high warmth-to-weight ratio, and it resists sticking to hair. Manmade sheepskin along the collar provides increased comfort with less pressure on the withers and shoulders.

The anatomical shaping ensures a comfortable fit and an enviable look in the stable. Front flaps close like a “Z” to further reduce shoulder pressure and to provide a superior fit.

Key features:

• 600D quilted outer.
• 160 grams odor-resistant fill.
• Insulating, artificial rabbit lining that protects hair from rubs.
• Artificial sheepskin collar.
• Double front closure.
• Adjustable cross surcingles.
• Plastic-covered bungee tail cord.
• Rustproof stainless steel buckles.

You can attach the strong fly sheet mesh with a chest closure, detachable and adjustable cross surcingles and a tail cord. Thanks to the withers fur, the risk of chafing on the withers is reduced. It also gives a chic look. The leather finish of the blanket gives the fly blanket the real “Kentucky look”. Thanks to the detachable cross surcingles, you can also use the chic Kentucky horse blanket as a stable, transport or show blanket. In short, this luxury fly rug has many advantages!

Kentucky Horsewear Mesh Fly Rug

• Description

Ideal for horses with sensitive skin, the Kentucky Horsewear Mesh Fly Rug is the perfect solution for reliable protection from flies and other irritating insects. This bug-blocking fly sheet features a unique triangle front closure that effectively reduces pressure on the horse's chest and withers during all movements, including grazing. The closures on this fly sheet are all designed to keep the rug close to the chest, belly and tail areas, making it more difficult for insects to get in underneath the rug. The Kentucky Mesh Fly Sheet is made from a dense mesh which protects from almost all bugs and insects. Designed for comfort, the mesh is flat on the inside, feels soft and smooth against your horse’s skin and will not pull or stick to your horse’s hair. Lightweight yet durable, this sturdy mesh fabric reflects sun rays, does not absorb heat, and allows air permeability so it is airy and breathable for the hot summer days. Sleek polyester lining protects your horse’s mane, chest and tail from rubs or chaffing. The Kentucky Mesh Fly Sheet comes with a detachable neck piece that features heavier, reinforced webbing to help maintain the shape and structure of the neck and prevent it from slipping down the neck.

Alec Wool Brown Rug

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars. 159 total votes

Make a statement. This rug is expertly handwoven, flaunting a high-low flatweave that adds an extra layer of dimension. Crafted from 100% wool, it showcases a classic plaid pattern in a duo-tone palette that easily blends with any decor. The high-low pile not only adds texture but feels great under your feet. A cotton backing is added for extra stability, though we do recommend a rug pad. Bonus - it's naturally stain-resistant, making it a top pick for pet-friendly homes.

• Construction Method: Handmade
• Material: Wool
• Location: Indoor Use Only

Gorgeous rug that is super quality!. Olivia. Dardenne Prairie, MO. 2024-01-02 12:50:16

Gelo Denim/Natural Rug

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars. 1609 total votes

With a classic old-world design and intentional distressing, this gray and denim-hued area rug looks instantly like a well-worn heirloom even though it arrives brand new. Machine-made from polyester using a power loom, this area rug has a printed design that provides the textured effect of a high-end rug at an affordable price point. This area rug comes backed by canvas to help keep it in place, but we also recommend adding a rug pad to help keep it from shifting or sliding. Plus, it comes in a variety of size options, so you can easily add it almost anywhere.

• Construction Method: Machine Made
• Material: Polyester
• : Power Loom

Pros- great colors, perfect size and thin enough that the door can close over it. Cons- it's just a printed mat, I would not say this is a rug. Nobody is going to be fooled into thinking this is a vintage find. It's a little pricy for what it is, but it works for my powder room, (the door doesn't hang up on it). But it's not a rug it's a mat, would be SO disappointed if I'd bought a bigger one for elsewhere.. Claire. US. 2022-04-05 12:52:13

Alec Wool Ivory/White Rug

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars. 157 total votes

Transform Your Space. Hand-woven and flaunting a flatweave technique, this rug is all set to make a statement. Crafted for indoor use, it showcases an interesting high-low pile, adding an extra layer of dimension. The classic plaid pattern in dual tones effortlessly syncs with your existing decor. While it lacks a non-slip backing, we recommend a rug pad for added safety. Plus, its stain-resistant wool construction makes it a great choice for homes with furry friends or little ones.

I love it. The rug is good quality and it came in pretty quickly. It’s perfect for the space. The rug is definitely cream not white and it did come with some snags but none of that bothered me.. Keely. Georgetown, KY. 2022-09-13 09:46:16

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars. 4935 total votes

This area rug has the look of a coveted flea market find with its braided border and purposefully faded design. Power-loomed from polyester, it showcases a timeless central medallion pattern in terracotta, blue, and sage green hues. Plus, its stain-resistant material makes this rug a great choice for homes with children, and pets, and the low-pile stands up to busy areas like entryways and living rooms. To reduce shifting and sliding, we recommend adding a rug pad (sold separately) underneath.

Beautiful colors. Based on price point, this is an excellent rug. It is thin so we used carpet padding. I was hesitant to order because on some of the pictures shown it looked more reddish than terracotta/ orangy, it is terracotta. Also make sure that you don't mind the worn/ faded sections. Overall very happy with purchase. . Luisa. Palmetto, FL. 2020-06-14 07:28:10

Rowe Handmade Ivory/Blue Rug

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars. 328 total votes

Handmade in India from a wool/viscose blend, this tufted area rug has a subtle stripe pattern that's sure to turn heads and inspire compliments wherever it sits. Offering neutral hues of ivory and blue, this design is easy to add alongside a variety of decor styles and already established color palettes. To make the most out of your new rug, we recommend pairing it with a rug pad (sold separately) underneath for added stability, and to protect your floors from scuffs and scratches.

• Pile Height: 0.31''
• Material: Wool; Viscose

I love the color and texture of this rug. It is light background color brings a freshness to the room. The rug seems well made.. Wesley. Dublin, OH. 2022-11-05 19:41:40

Emelia Oriental Rust Area Rug

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars. 152 total votes

Bold, imperial-inspired shades of red rust, burnished gold, and royal blue bring the richness of this area rug to life. It's machine-made from durable polyester using a power loom. The ornamental border is resplendent with classic Persian motifs accented by geometric and botanical shapes throughout that speak to the rug's traditional roots. Best of all, this area rug is offered in a variety of size options, so it's even easier to find just the right fit.

Love the two rugs that I ordered from Joss Main! One that is larger I use under my dining room table the runner I bought to use in my foyer! They both are beautiful!. Dorothy. Chester, VA. 2022-01-10 16:27:00

Vega Navy/Ivory/Gray Rug

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars. 230 total votes

Featuring a classic design with intentional distressing throughout, this area rug is ideal for adding traditional, timeworn charm to any space. It's made from polyester using a power loom and has a medium 0.25" pile height that's ideal for a variety of spaces throughout your home. Yes, even those high-traffic spaces like the entryway or living room. For added durability, this area rug is backed with canvas. And, it's even safe to use with heated floors.

Rug came as expected. Purchased the premium rug pad to go under it. I’m pleased with how it turned out—also corners did not need flattening—rug laid out normal.. Tyler. Atlanta, GA. 2020-10-14 10:06:35

Lyona Floral Blue/Coral Area Rug

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars. 34 total votes

A true classic never goes out of style thanks to striking patterns and traditional colors like blue and coral. Bright carpeting like this allows you to pull accent colors into your space with ease, while still keeping the floor from feeling too safe. This Turkish machine-made rug only looks expensive, but thanks to superior printing technology, it’s easy on your wallet too.

• Pile Height: 0.1''
• Material: Cotton; Polyester

Carmen Hand Tufted Wool Gray/Beige Rug

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars. 97 total votes

Handmade construction meets trend-forward design elements in this area rug. It's hand-tufted in India from 100% wool and has a bold zebra pattern that's intricately sewn. We love the understated color palette that goes with everything, plus the array of size options for added versatility. Plus, its medium 0.4" pile height is a great choice for all sorts of different spaces throughout your home. To reduce shifting and sliding and keep your new rug in place, we recommend pairing it with a rug pad.

More pink than I wanted. It’s really a blush pinky beige with light grey stripes. And the stripes have stripes which also look strange.. Jennifer. Rancho Santa Fe, CA. 2022-06-22 15:57:22

Ginseng Hand-Woven Flatweave Steel Area Rug

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars. 100 total votes

This area rug has a soft-toned palette and flatweave design that pairs well with a variety of different aesthetics and color palettes. It’s handmade in India from wool and silk for a cool-casual look we love. Perfect for both high-traffic areas like entryways or living rooms as well as less-traveled spaces like bedrooms, the two-tone color palette has an understated elegance that proves neutrals aren’t boring. Just between us: To reduce shifting and sliding, we recommend adding a rug pad (sold separately) underneath.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars. 38 total votes

With its textured tassel ends, two-tone color palette, and globally-inspired geometric design, this area rug is easy to incorporate into just about any space around your home. It's handmade in India using a flatweave technique from 100% New Zealand wool and has a medium 0.4" pile height. The wool is naturally stain-resistant, so this area rug is a great choice for homes with pets or kids.

Elevate your space with this modern machine-woven area rug. Crafted with care, this stain-resistant rug is designed to withstand the demands of everyday use. Its versatile design is perfect for indoor use only, making it a stylish addition to any room in your home.

This rug is perfect for our space. The rug is so soft and thick. It is very well made with a nice canvas backing. The colors are rich. We had it for about 2 months now, and even though it is a wool rug, there is far less shedding than I expected. We have received so many compliments on it. Highly recommend.. Christopher.

This area rug has a timeless, classic look that complements spaces of all sorts. It's made in Turkey from polyester using a power loom and has a Persian-inspired pattern. We love the way the intentional distressing adds a lived-in look, so you get the vibe of a flea market find, antique, or treasured heirloom straight out of the box. We especially love the muted terracotta color palette, which is accented with an array of different hues throughout. To help reduce shifting and sliding and keep your new rug in place, we recommend pairing it with a rug pad (sold separately).

So beautiful. Has more texture than the Layla line from Loloi (this is the Loren line). . Laurie. Minnesota. 2020-09-30 14:30:35

Emi Oriental Dark Blue/Brick Red/Cream Area Rug

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars. 133 total votes

This area rug offers the cozy, lived-in look of a vintage heirloom but with the durability – and affordable price – of a modern accent piece. It's made from polyester using a power loom and is backed with canvas for added structure. We love its bold hues of denim, green, burnt orange, tan, and cream, plus the distressed details that add even more versatility. This area rug has a medium 0.28" pile height that provides a little bit of extra cushion under foot. To help reduce shifting and sliding, we recommend pairing it with a rug pad.

I ordered the 9x12 Saturmino after searching all over for days for something subtle that worked in our color scheme. My main goal was to buy an affordable, vintage-look/faded, subtle rug that didn’t smell. I cannot stand any carpet products that off-gas chemicals. This rug has ZERO odors. Completely smell-free! I am so pleased with this purchase. I have it in my master bedroom under a king-size bed — I needed to cover an old permanent ink stain on the carpet near our desk area, so the bigger 9x12 was a perfect fit. Because this rug lays over top of existing bedroom carpet I am pleased that this rug lays very flat; I didn’t have any problems with corners coming up, no one is tripping on it; it rests very low and tight against the floor. It’s colors are true to the product photo on the website, subtle and faded and vintage-distressed look. Again, please note this rug is very low pile; I like that this rug is low pile, it feels good on bare feet. I don’t like a super-plush thick carpet anyway, and since this is being used over our bedroom carpet the low pile is important to me. This would go great in high-use areas like at a beach house, I also think it will stand up just fine against our dogs — but I would think cats might be too tempted to scratch on it because of the groovy texture of the low pile. (Delivery was quick and had no issues; the rug isn’t too heavy which is nice; it arrived rolled and sealed in thick plastic; no folds, no creases.) I would buy again.. Al P..

Soften your hardwood floors and add classic Oriental-inspired style with this intentionally distressed area rug.

I had to leave a review for this rug because of how soft it is. I knew I was going to love the rug in terms of pattern and color and I do but I was not expecting the softness. Highly recommend!. Todd. Red Bank, NJ. 2021-01-29 15:01:40

Traditional and timeless, this area rug has a beautiful lived-in look that captures the spirit of the classic, old-world design. Machine-made using a power loom, this area rug is crafted from durable polyester with a rich brown, blue, and red color palette and a subtle patina. Intentional distressing throughout gives it a vintage touch, while the low 0.12" pile height is ideal for high traffic areas in a variety of locations throughout your home. Plus, it's offered in a variety of size options for added versatility.

Love the color and they feel almost squishy even though they are tightly woven, not traditional pile. One thing to note though (and reason I’m giving a four stars). I ordered two sizes for my upstairs hallway, the two different sizes have different colored thread on the edging. We like the rugs enough to keep them anyway, but if you need two different sizes next to each other and that’s going to bother you (I debated heavily returning them), don’t buy them, because they don’t technically match..

Very happy with this rug! I needed a very specific size to fit my small entry foyer. Most rugs are 3' x 5' but the fact that this one is slightly larger is game changing. Love the texture, seems v very repellent and resistance to dirt/ water. Great for an entryway! I love the patter/ distressed colour. It does however pull a little more green in person.

This is a great rug for the price. It has a nice subtle pattern and muted colors so it doesn't take over the room. It is true to size and appears to be well made. Be aware that there is no pile or texture - it is more like a heavy floor cloth, this works for me but might not be right for everyone.The color is predominantly navy blue and linen with some rust accents, but like I said it is muted not dark.

It’s a beautiful rug but I wouldn’t put it in a high traffic place. It’s become a little fuzzy in ~2-3 months (used in an entryway), it doesn’t shed though. It has a stripe pattern that you can only really see in low light. Feels soft under feet but have been looking for something that can hold up more in the entry way.. Kaitlyn.

I had been looking for a rug for my bedroom that had personality to bring out my color pattern which is an array colors like the rug and it hit the mark. Some said the rug wouldn't lie flat I put some heavy items on the end to help with that. So I am going to see if that will help. Overall that is not a problem.

Absolutely LOVE this rug. Took a chance ordering online and when it arrived I was a little unsure when I first saw the orange/rust but after getting it into place it’s perfect! I chose it because of the black but love all the colors. There is very little dark red as well. It is also so soft under foot. Have purchased many rugs and this one laid out flat better than any others. No roll lines to try to flatten. My husband is very impressed with it and comments on the colors and the softness. Ordering other sizes for other areas. So happy we took a chance!. Linda. Sun City West, AZ. 2022-09-15 16:02:25

Blinken says the U.S. could take action if Israel fails to hold its troops accountable.

The Biden administration, which has been under pressure for its support of Israel’s war in Gaza, will not withhold military aid from a troubled military unit accused of human rights violations in the West Bank, so long as Israel continues with steps to hold the members of the unit accountable.

In an undated letter, Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken told the House speaker, Mike Johnson, that the United States was working with Israel to address charges against the unit, the Netzah Yehuda battalion. Though the letter did not mention the battalion’s name, a U.S. official confirmed that Mr. Blinken was referring to Netzah Yehuda, which has been investigated for crimes in the West Bank predating the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attack that set off the war in Gaza.

The official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss delicate diplomacy, said that the Biden administration could still take action against Netzah Yehuda if it concludes that Israel has not taken sufficient steps to hold its members to account.

The letter, obtained by The New York Times, said the State Department had determined that Netzah Yehuda had committed “gross human rights violations” against Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

U.S. officials had reached similar findings about two other Israeli military units and two civilian units, the letter said, but in those cases the Biden administration had decided not to withhold military aid because Israel was already acting to “bring to justice” culpable service members.

Mr. Blinken assured Mr. Johnson in the letter, reported earlier by ABC News , that the United States “will not delay the delivery of any U.S. assistance, and Israel will be able to receive the full amount appropriated by Congress.”

Under federal statutes commonly known as the Leahy law , the U.S. government must deny aid to foreign military units found to have committed gross violations of human rights without accountability. The law allows for the targeting of individual units without cutting off entire foreign militaries.

It was not clear what practical effect any such move might have, given that funding of specific Israeli units is hard to track, and it is unclear whether the units mentioned in the letter receive American training or equipment.

Still, the news last week that U.S. officials were considering withholding aid from Israeli military units for abuses prompted a furious response from Israel and from Mr. Johnson, a strong supporter of the current Israeli government. Mr. Johnson said this week that he had called the White House in protest and had received an assurance in writing that none of the billions in additional U.S. aid to Israel approved by Congress this week would be affected.

The Biden administration has faced growing calls to restrict American aid to Israel over its military offensive in Gaza in response to the Hamas-led attacks in October. President Biden so far has declined to place conditions on U.S. aid over Israel’s devastating tactics in the Gaza war, though he has taken several steps in response to violence by Israelis in the West Bank, including placing sanctions against several Israeli settlers for what the U.S. has called “extremist” acts of violence against Palestinians.

In his letter to the Republican House speaker, Mr. Blinken said that two Israeli battalions and “civilian authority units,” none of which he named, had committed human rights abuses but that he had “determined that the Israeli government has conducted effective remediation of the units involved.” He defined remediation as a process in which a foreign government takes “effective steps to bring to justice the responsible members of the unit.”

In the case of Netzah Yehuda, which he did not cite by name, he said that “there has not been effective remediation to date” but that the Israeli government “has presented new information regarding the status of the unit, and we will engage on identifying a path to effective remediation for this unit.”

Mr. Blinken is planning to travel to Israel next week for meetings with Israeli leaders to discuss efforts to free hostages from Gaza and an impending Israeli military operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, an Israeli official said on Friday. It was not immediately clear whether he would discuss Netzah Yehuda. Mr. Blinken has discussed the matter by phone with senior Israeli officials in recent days.

Under the terms of a 10-year security agreement that the United States and Israel reached in 2016, the United States must consult with Israeli officials before placing restrictions on security assistance. That consultation is ongoing, according to the U.S. official.

Netzah Yehuda, which was created to accommodate the religious practices of Israel’s ultra-Orthodox community, has been repeatedly accused of mistreating Palestinians.

In January 2022, according to witnesses, its soldiers bound and gagged a 78-year-old Palestinian American who died of a heart attack while in military custody. An investigation concluded that the two soldiers who bound the man thought he was sleeping. The soldiers faced disciplinary action but no criminal charges were brought.

The unit was transferred in 2022 from the West Bank to the Golan Heights in northern Israel, according to Mr. Blinken’s letter.

Mr. Blinken added that no other Israeli units had been found culpable of rights violations under the Leahy Law and that the administration’s deliberations “will have no impact on our support for Israel’s ability to defend itself against Hamas, Iran, Hezbollah or other threats.”

Blinken will make another wartime trip to Israel.

Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken will visit Israel next week, an Israeli official said on Friday, as talks on a cease-fire deal that would allow for the release of hostages held in Gaza appear stalled and tensions have risen between Israel and the United States over the war.

The Israeli official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of lack of authorization to speak publicly on the matter, said talks with Mr. Blinken would center on hostages and an impending Israeli military operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.

Mr. Blinken last visited Israel in March, when he warned that its plans to invade Rafah , where more than a million displaced people are sheltering, would pose severe risks to civilians. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to press ahead with those plans, saying that such an operation is necessary to eliminate Hamas battalions in the city.

Still, the Biden administration has stuck by Israel as mediators have failed to broker even a temporary cease-fire in Gaza that would give Palestinians some respite and allow for the release of hostages abducted in the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel .

The United States has proposed a deal through Egyptian and Qatari intermediaries in which Hamas would release 40 of the most vulnerable hostages in exchange for a six-week truce and the release of hundreds of Palestinians held in Israeli prisons. A senior Biden administration official who briefed reporters on Thursday on condition of anonymity under official ground rules put the blame solely on Hamas for blocking the deal.

The official said that while Israel had signaled it would accept those terms, the response from Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader hiding underground in Gaza, had been “totally nonconstructive.” Hamas has since signaled that it is not completely rejecting the deal and is willing to sit down again, the official said, adding that the United States and its partners would test that in coming days.

President Biden and the leaders of 17 other nations called on Hamas on Thursday to release all the hostages in a joint statement that appeared intended to send the message that the world is not entirely against Israel and that Hamas is the main impediment to ending the war.

Israel fires into Lebanon after a deadly Hezbollah missile strike.

An Israeli man was killed in an anti-tank missile attack from Lebanon, the Israeli military said on Friday, the latest in a growing string of civilian casualties on both sides of Israel’s northern border as tit-for-tat strikes intensify with the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah .

The Israeli military said in a statement that the man had been carrying out “infrastructure work” when two anti-tank missiles were fired late Thursday into the area of Har Dov in northern Israel, a disputed sliver of land where Israel, Lebanon and Syria meet. Also known as the Shebaa Farms, the area is claimed by Lebanon but occupied by Israel, and has long been a crucible for violence.

Hezbollah, Iran’s most powerful regional proxy , described the overnight attack as an “ambush,” claiming that two vehicles had been destroyed in a combined missile, artillery and rocket assault on an Israeli military base in the area. The Israeli military statement did not say whether a base had been hit.

Kan, Israel’s public broadcaster, identified the man killed as Sharif Suwayed, 35, and said that his truck had been hit while he was working to improve defenses at a military base, modifications that were being carried out at night to protect against Hezbollah attacks. The Israeli military was investigating, the broadcaster reported.

Israeli forces responded by striking Hezbollah targets across southern Lebanon, among them a weapon storage facility and military compound, according to a military statement. Lebanese state media reported on Friday that multiple towns had been targeted by heavy Israeli bombardment, damaging dozens of houses. There were no immediate reports of casualties.

The fighting between Hezbollah and Israel, the heaviest between the sides in nearly two decades, has shown no sign of subsiding. Israeli strikes inside Lebanon have begun to creep deeper into the country’s interior, though the hostilities for now have been confined largely to areas along the Israeli-Lebanese border.

In Israel, 19 soldiers and civilians have been killed in the recent violence, which began after Hezbollah launched rockets into northern Israel in support of the deadly Hamas-led attack on Oct. 7.

More than 70 civilians have been killed in Lebanon, along with roughly 270 Hezbollah fighters, the group has said, a figure that exceeds its losses in the 2006 war with Israel .

Yoav Gallant, Israel’s defense minister, said this week that its strikes had eliminated half of Hezbollah’s commanders in southern Lebanon, although experts expressed skepticism about that claim . They also have cast doubt on whether targeted killings of commanders could achieve Israel’s goal of pushing Hezbollah farther from the border, reducing the threat of attacks and allowing the tens of thousands of Israeli civilians displaced by the fighting to return to their homes.

A baby born in Gaza after her mother was killed in an Israeli strike dies less than a week later.

A baby who was delivered through an emergency cesarean section after her mother was killed in an Israeli strike died on Thursday, a relative said, less than a week after news of her birth brought a glimmer of hope to war-torn Gaza.

The baby, who was born prematurely after a strike in southern Gaza that also killed her father and sister, suffered respiratory problems, and doctors were unable to save her, said her uncle, Rami al-Sheikh.

“I buried her in her father’s grave,” he said in a phone interview on Friday.

The mother, Sabreen al-Sakani, was killed along with her husband, Shukri, and their 3-year-old daughter, Malak, when an Israeli strike hit their home in the city of Rafah shortly before midnight last Saturday. Rescue crews took the bodies to the Emirati Hospital in Rafah, where doctors performed a cesarean section on Ms. al-Sakani, who was 30 weeks pregnant.

The girls’ uncle said that Malak had wanted to name her little sister Rouh, the Arabic word for soul. The extended family decided instead to name her after her mother, Sabreen.

Sabreen weighed just three pounds at birth, said Dr. Mohammed Salama, head of the neonatal intensive care unit at Emirati Hospital. Her birth was captured on video by a journalist from the Reuters news agency, who filmed doctors providing artificial respiration to her after she emerged, pale and limp, from her mother.

Instead of a name, doctors initially wrote, “The baby of the martyr Sabreen al-Sakani” on a piece of tape across her chest.

“The baby was delivered into a tragic situation,” Dr. Salama told Reuters, adding, “Even if this baby survives, she was born an orphan.”

Drone attack kills 4 workers in an Iraqi gas field, but no one claims responsibility.

A drone attack on a large gas field in Iraq’s Kurdistan region killed four workers and plunged much of eastern Kurdistan into darkness because it relies on gas to fuel its electrical plants, according to a Kurdistan regional government spokesman.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack. While Iranian-backed armed groups have bases in the area, there are many competing interests in Kurdistan, leaving it unclear whether the attacks are part of the larger regional fight between Iran and Israel, which has intensified during the war in Gaza.

The Kurdistan region’s president, Nechirvan Barzani, condemned the attack and called on the government in Baghdad to investigate. “These attacks endanger the peace and stability of the country,” Mr. Barzani said, adding, “The representatives of the Iraqi federal government must do their duty to prevent these attacks and find the perpetrators from any side and punish them according to the law.”

Iraq’s joint command in Baghdad issued a statement calling the attack “sabotage,” confirming that a drone was used. The statement said Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al Sudani had ordered an investigation.

Friday’s drone attack was the second so far this year on the Khor Mor field in Sulaymaniyah Province. The last one, in January, did not inflict casualties.

“Four Yemeni workers have been killed, and the field has been severely damaged, which will cause electricity shortages,” said Peshawa Hawramani, a spokesman for the Kurdistan regional government.

Almost a million people in Sulaymaniyah Province were left without power, along with thousands more in adjacent provinces. It took about 24 hours to restore electricity after the last attack, but because the damage was greater this time, Kurdish authorities said it could take longer. While hospitals and security services have large generators, many ordinary residents have access only to limited power from shared generators.

Claims of responsibility were never made for previous attacks on the gas field, which is operated by Dana Gas, based in the United Arab Emirates, and a related company, Crescent Petroleum.

While the drone attack could stem from the regional conflict between Iran and Israel, there are other tensions in the region — between internal Iraqi factions and between Baghdad and Kurdistan. There has been a multiyear effort by the Iraqi federal government in Baghdad and the courts to reduce the Kurdistan region’s control over its natural resources.

At the same time, there is tension between Iran and Iraq over any efforts by Iraq to expand domestic gas production. Iran sells about $4 billion of gas to Iraq each year because Iraq does not have enough gas to fuel its electricity plants. Kurdistan and the Iraqi government had been discussing expansion of the Khor Mor field.

Rabbis are arrested near the Gaza-Israel border at a rally to highlight starvation.

Police arrest group of rabbis and activists near gaza, the israeli police arrested rabbis and peace activists near the border with gaza..

[singing] You can arrest us, but we’re going to walk slowly, our way towards the crossing.

Seven rabbis and peace activists were arrested on Friday near the border with Gaza after they tried to take food supplies into the territory, according to two participants and the campaign group that organized the effort.

The detainees were among a group of roughly 30 rabbis and activists from Israel and the United States who were stopped by police officers as they tried to reach the Erez crossing, a major transit point between Israel and northern Gaza.

Organized by Rabbis for Ceasefire, a peace movement based in the United States, the effort was intended to build support for a truce and to highlight rising reports of starvation in Gaza . A global authority on food security, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification initiative, has predicted an imminent famine in northern Gaza, the area of the territory closest to Erez.

The protest was timed to coincide with the week of Passover , a Jewish festival that celebrates the biblical story of the liberation of Jews from slavery in ancient Egypt.

“We were making the point that Jewish liberation is bound up with Palestinian liberation, that we want freedom for all,” said Toba Spitzer, a rabbi from Boston who attended the protest but was not arrested.

The group had tried to drive into Gaza with a pickup truck carrying half a ton of rice and flour but was stopped roughly a third of a mile from the border, Rabbi Spitzer said. The effort was largely symbolic and the organizers expected it to fail given the restrictions along the border; the supplies will now be donated to needy Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, Rabbi Spitzer said.

The Israeli police did not respond to requests for comment.

The author Ayelet Waldman of Berkeley, Calif., was among those arrested, her husband, the author Michael Chabon, said on Instagram .

There are widespread food shortages in Gaza. Israeli restrictions on where convoys can enter the strip, Israeli bombardment and widespread damage to roads, the collapse of Gazan agriculture, and a breakdown in law and order have all made it harder to distribute aid safely.

Aid groups and United Nations officials have accused Israel of systematically limiting aid delivery. Israel denies the assertion, blaming the shortages on logistical failures by aid groups, and has recently increased the number of trucks entering the strip.

Israeli officials say that the Erez crossing, which was primarily used for pedestrian traffic before the war, is difficult to use for aid delivery because it lacks the right infrastructure and was also badly damaged during the Hamas-led raid on Israel in October.

A majority of Jewish Israelis oppose the delivery of more aid to Gaza, according to a poll conducted in February by the Israel Democracy Institute, a Jerusalem-based research group.

Israeli protesters regularly gather at another crossing point farther south, trying to block aid convoys entering Gaza .

The U.S. Army has begun work on a floating pier to move aid from ships into Gaza, the Pentagon says.

Army engineers on Thursday began construction of a floating pier and causeway for humanitarian aid off the coast of Gaza, which, when completed, could help relief workers deliver as many as two million meals a day for the enclave’s residents, Defense Department officials said.

The construction on the “initial stages of the temporary pier and causeway at sea” means that the project’s timing is in line with what Pentagon officials had predicted, Maj. Gen. Patrick S. Ryder, the Defense Department’s press secretary, said. The construction is meant to allow humanitarian aid to bypass Israeli restrictions on land convoys into the besieged strip.

General Ryder said that defense officials expected the project, ordered up by President Biden early last month, to be completed early next month. The facility is meant to include an offshore platform to transfer aid from ships, and a floating pier to bring the aid to shore.

Aid organizations have welcomed the plan, which will be an addition to the airdrops of humanitarian supplies that the U.S. military has been conducting over Gaza. But aid workers say, and defense officials have acknowledged, that the maritime project is not an adequate substitute for land convoys. Such aid convoys fell sharply when the war began more than six months ago and have only partly recovered .

Some U.S. military officials have also privately expressed security concerns about the project, and General Ryder said that the military was looking into a mortar attack on Wednesday that caused minimal damage in the area where some pier work is supposed to be done. However, he said, U.S. forces had not started moving anything into the area at the time of the mortar attacks.

The floating pier is being built alongside an Army ship off the Gaza coast. Army ships are large, lumbering vessels, so they have armed escorts, particularly as they get within range of Gaza’s coast, defense officials have said.

The United Nations says famine is likely to set in within Gaza by the end of May.

Aid workers have described bottlenecks for aid at border crossings because of lengthy inspections of trucks, limited crossing hours and protests by Israelis, and they have highlighted the difficulty of distributing aid inside Gaza. Israeli officials have denied that they are hampering the flow of aid, saying the United Nations and aid groups are responsible for any backlogs.

Senior Biden administration and military officials detailed a complex plan in a Pentagon call with reporters on Thursday afternoon, explaining how the pier and causeway are being put together, and how it is supposed to work. Army engineers are constructing the facility aboard Navy ships in the eastern Mediterranean. One official said that the “at-sea assembly of key pieces” of the pier began on Thursday.

Biden officials are insistent that the Pentagon can carry out aid deliveries through the floating pier without putting American boots on the ground in Gaza. Officials described a complicated shuttle system, through which aid would be loaded onto Navy ships in Cyprus and transported to a causeway — a floating platform — at sea.

The Pentagon’s military acronym for the project is J-Lots, for Joint Logistics Over the Shore.

The causeway at sea is different from the floating pier where the aid will be offloaded into Gaza. An engineering unit with the Israeli military will anchor the floating pier to the Gaza shore, a senior military official told reporters in the Pentagon call.

Shuttle boats run by aid organizations, the United Nations or other countries are then expected to transport the aid to the floating pier, where it is to be loaded onto trucks driven by “a third party,” the official said. He declined to identify the third party.

The official said that Israel was dedicating a brigade to provide security for the American troops and aid workers working on the pier.

The operation is expected to bring in enough aid for around 90 trucks a day, a number that will increase to 150 trucks a day when the system reaches full operating capacity, the official said.
