Escalating Conflict: Israel Targets Houthi Positions in Yemen Following Missile Attacks
Israel has issued urgent evacuation warnings for Yemeni ports and launched significant airstrikes on the port city of Hodeidah and the main airport in Sanaa. This escalation follows missile attacks from the Houthi rebels, including strikes near Tel Aviv airport that have resulted in major airlines suspending flights to and from Israel. The Israeli military confirmed the interception of a Houthi missile but acknowledged failures of its defense systems against recent attacks. In response to the increasing missile threat, Israel has vowed to intensify its military actions against Houthi positions and is also signaling potential strikes against Iran. The conflict has resulted in extensive flight cancellations, with numerous airlines extending their suspension of routes to Israel amidst ongoing hostilities.
