On Day 452 of the Israel-Hamas war, the United States and its allies launched airstrikes against the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. This follows a missile strike by the Houthis on central Israel, which was reported late Monday. The missile attack escalated tensions, prompting retaliatory action from the US-led coalition.
The airstrikes targeted Houthi positions, which have been increasingly active in the region, with support from Iran. The recent escalation highlights the growing complexities of the conflict, as various regional actors, including the Houthis, continue to influence the broader Middle East security environment.
The situation remains fluid, with ongoing military operations and heightened risks of further escalation.
