In a significant escalation of military action, Israel has launched airstrikes against Houthi-controlled ports and a power plant in Yemen, marking a coordinated effort with the United States and the United Kingdom. Over 20 Israeli warplanes targeted Houthi sites, resulting in more than 20 reported casualties in Gaza. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) released footage of their jets en route to Yemen, indicating a strategy to counter Houthi missile threats, which have included attempts to target U.S. Navy vessels. The Houthis have issued warnings of retaliation, showcasing their determination to respond to Israeli actions. Amidst this growing tension, Israeli officials assert that the strikes send a clear message to the Houthis, who are seen as an Iranian proxy in the region, and emphasize that more strikes could be anticipated if attacks on Israel continue.
