Escalation of Conflict as Israel Targets Yemeni Houthi Strongholds

In a significant escalation of military actions, the Israeli army has intensified airstrikes on Yemen, specifically targeting Hodeidah port and power plants following a series of missile attacks attributed to the Houthi rebels. Recent reports indicate that airstrikes have resulted in the deaths of at least 21 individuals in eastern Lebanon. The IDF claims to have conducted the most powerful strike of the ongoing conflict, hitting dozens of Houthi targets, including critical infrastructure utilized by the rebels. This surge in hostilities comes amid warnings from Yemen's defense minister about potential retaliatory measures against Israeli forces. As tensions in the region escalate, the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has faced threats from Houthi missile attacks, leading to heightened military readiness.
