Tensions have sharply escalated between Israel and Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels, with Israel launching airstrikes on Houthi-controlled Hodeidah port in Yemen and intercepting multiple missiles and drones fired toward Israeli territory, including Ben Gurion Airport.
The Houthis claim their attacks are retaliation for Israeli strikes and vow further action unless Israel ends its offensive in Gaza. These exchanges have triggered air raid sirens across central Israel and briefly disrupted air traffic, while also stoking fears of a broader regional conflict involving other Middle Eastern actors. The United Nations has expressed deep concern over the renewed hostilities and their potential to destabilize the region further.
The situation remains volatile, with both sides warning of more attacks.
