A sharp escalation has erupted between Israel and Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi militants, with the Houthis launching ballistic and hypersonic missiles and drones at Israeli targets, including Ben Gurion Airport.
Israel has responded with airstrikes and drone attacks on Houthi-controlled sites in Yemen's Hodeidah port, aiming to dismantle the group's military infrastructure. While Israel successfully intercepted several incoming missiles and drones, the exchanges have heightened fears of a broader regional conflict and disrupted air traffic. The Houthis vow continued attacks unless Israel ends its offensive in Gaza, while Israel warns of severe retaliation for further missile launches.
The situation underscores the growing complexity of Middle East hostilities, with new fronts opening beyond Gaza and Lebanon.
