Israel and Yemen's Houthis Escalate Missile Strikes and Airstrikes in Red Sea Showdown

Tensions have sharply escalated between Israel and Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi militants, with the Houthis launching ballistic and drone attacks targeting Israeli sites, including Ben Gurion Airport.

Israel has responded with airstrikes, including drone attacks, on Houthi-controlled infrastructure at Yemen's Hodeidah port. Israel claims to have intercepted several missiles, with some falling short of Israeli territory, and has warned the Houthis of severe consequences for continued aggression. The conflict is raising fears of a broader regional escalation, with concerns about the safety of Red Sea shipping and the potential for further destabilization.

Both sides have vowed to continue their operations unless their demands are met, keeping the region on high alert.
