In a recent escalation, Houthi rebels launched a drone attack on Tel Aviv, prompting a powerful Israeli retaliation.
Israeli F-15 fighter jets struck Houthi positions near Yemen's Hudaydah port, targeting oil depots and a power station. The airstrikes resulted in the deaths of three people and injured 87 others, many with severe burns.
Explosions and fireballs lit up the Hudaydah skyline, as civil protection forces struggled to contain the fires.
The Israeli military stated that the Houthis used the port to receive weapons from Iran, with the targets being dual-use sites crucial for energy infrastructure.
This move came after over 200 Houthi attacks on Israel, with Israeli officials fearing a broader regional conflict. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant emphasized Israel's readiness to strike back decisively at any future threats.
The attack occurred as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepared to visit Washington to address the US Congress, urging the international community to increase pressure on Iran and its allies, including the Houthis, Hamas, and Hezbollah.
He called for collective efforts to secure international trade routes and counter Iran’s influence in the Middle East.
In response, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saari warned of continued attacks on Israeli targets, while Iran condemned the Israeli airstrikes, highlighting their potential dangerous consequences.
This incident underscores the volatile nature of Middle Eastern geopolitics, with potential repercussions for global stability. The situation remains tense as both sides brace for possible further confrontations.
