A dramatic escalation unfolded as Israel launched drone and air strikes on Yemen's Houthi-controlled Hodeida port, responding to repeated missile and drone attacks by the Iran-backed Houthi group targeting Israel, including Ben Gurion Airport.
Israel's advanced air defense systems intercepted several missiles and drones, with some attacks triggering sirens and briefly disrupting air traffic. The Houthis vowed further attacks unless Israel ends its Gaza offensive, raising fears of a broader regional conflict. The United Nations and regional powers have called for restraint amid concerns that the violence could destabilize shipping in the Red Sea and escalate into a wider war.
The situation remains volatile, with both sides promising continued military action.
