In a retaliatory move, Israel launched an airstrike on the Yemeni port city of Hodeidah following a drone attack claimed by the Houthi rebels that targeted Tel Aviv. The drone attack resulted in the death of one person and injuries to several others in Israel. The Israeli strike on Hodeidah is seen as a response to the escalating tensions between the two parties.
The attack on Tel Aviv marked an escalation in the conflict between Israel and the Houthi rebels in Yemen. The Houthi rebels, who are backed by Iran, have been involved in a long-standing conflict with Saudi Arabia and its allies in Yemen. The drone attack on Tel Aviv was a rare direct assault on Israel, further complicating the already volatile situation in the region.
The Israeli government has condemned the Houthi attack and vowed to respond with force to any threats to its territory. The strike on Hodeidah is believed to be a warning to the Houthi rebels and their supporters. It is unclear what specific targets were hit in the Israeli airstrike, but it is likely to have caused further damage to the already war-torn city.
The international community has expressed concern over the escalating violence between Israel and the Houthi rebels. Diplomatic efforts are underway to de-escalate the situation and prevent further bloodshed. The conflict between Israel and the Houthi rebels is a reminder of the complex dynamics at play in the Middle East and the need for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflicts in the region.
