Tensions have sharply escalated between Israel and Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels, with Israel launching drone and air strikes on Houthi-controlled Hodeidah port in response to repeated missile and drone attacks targeting Israeli territory, including Ben Gurion Airport.
The Israeli military claims to have intercepted several missiles and drones launched from Yemen, while the Houthis assert these attacks are retaliation for Israeli actions in Gaza and Yemen. The strikes mark a significant expansion of the conflict, raising fears of broader regional escalation and threats to Red Sea shipping. Israel's Defense Minister has warned the Houthis will face severe consequences for their attacks.
The situation remains volatile, with both sides vowing further action.
