Sanaa,Yemen - In a retaliatory move,Israel launched airstrikes against targets in Yemen’s capital Sanaa and the port city of Hodeidah early Thursday morning,local time. The strikes follow reports that Israel’s air defense system intercepted a missile fired from Yemen earlier that day.
Israeli officials stated that the strikes targeted “military objectives” located on Yemen’s western coast and inland, but declined to provide further details. However, Houthi-controlled media outlets reported that the attacks hit power plants, the port, and oil facilities.
“A series of aggressive attacks were carried out on the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, and the port city of Hodeidah,” Al-Masira, a Houthi-affiliated media outlet, reported, according to AFP. “The attacks targeted two major power plants in the capital Sanaa, while in Hodeidah, the enemy launched four aggressive attacks targeting the port…and two attacks targeting oil facilities.”
The Israeli strikes came hours after sirens blared across central Israel early Thursday, warning residents of an incoming missile threat from Yemen.
“At least one missile launched from Yemen was intercepted before crossing into Israeli territory,” the Israeli Air Force said in a statement to AFP. “Sirens were activated due to the possibility of falling debris from the interception.”
This marks the second time this week that Israel’s military has intercepted a missile fired from Yemen. The first incident occurred on Monday, also claimed by the Houthi rebels. The group,which controls much of Yemen’s populated areas including the capital Sanaa,said monday’s operation targeted “enemy Israeli military targets in the occupied area of Yaffa.” Yaffa is the pre-1948 name for Tel Aviv.
houthi Rebels Target Israel with Drone Strikes, Citing Solidarity with Palestinians
Tel Aviv, Israel – In a series of escalating attacks, Houthi rebels from Yemen launched drone strikes against Israel on Monday, targeting both military and civilian areas. the attacks,which Israel successfully intercepted,come amid heightened tensions in the Middle East following the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
The Houthi movement, which controls much of northern Yemen, claimed responsibility for the attacks, stating they were carried out in solidarity with Palestinians facing Israeli military operations in Gaza.
“Our operations will not cease untill the aggression in Gaza stops and the siege is lifted,” a Houthi spokesperson declared, referencing the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip, which has claimed the lives of over 45,000 people since October.This latest round of attacks follows a pattern of Houthi aggression against Israel.On December 9th, a Houthi drone exploded on the roof of a residential building in the central Israeli city of Yavne, causing damage but no casualties. In July, a Houthi drone strike in Tel Aviv tragically killed an Israeli civilian, prompting retaliatory strikes by Israel against Houthi targets in Yemen’s hodeidah port.
The Houthi rebels have also repeatedly targeted shipping lanes in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, leading to retaliatory strikes against Houthi positions by the United States and, at times, British forces.Despite these countermeasures, the houthi group has persisted in its attacks.
Houthi Rebels threaten ‘New Phase’ of Attacks against Israel, Raising Tensions in the Middle East
Tensions in the middle East escalated Tuesday as Houthi rebels in Yemen announced a “new phase” of attacks against Israel. The group, which controls much of northern Yemen, has been locked in a brutal civil war with the Saudi-backed Yemeni government for years.
The Houthi announcement, delivered through their Al-Masirah television channel, did not specify the nature or timing of the planned attacks. Though, it comes amid heightened regional anxieties following recent clashes between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza.
“We will not hesitate to defend our people and our land,” a Houthi spokesperson declared, vowing to strike “deep inside” Israeli territory.
The threat has sparked concern among U.S. officials, who have long been involved in efforts to broker peace in Yemen. The Biden governance has called for a ceasefire and a political solution to the conflict, but the Houthi rebels have repeatedly rejected these calls.
The potential for a wider conflict is a major worry for the United States. The region is already volatile, with ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran, and the presence of extremist groups like ISIS.
The Houthi threat also raises questions about the group’s access to advanced weaponry. In the past, the Houthis have fired ballistic missiles and drones into Saudi Arabia, targeting oil facilities and other strategic infrastructure.
The U.S. has accused Iran of supplying the Houthis with weapons, a claim Tehran denies.
The situation remains fluid, and it is unclear how Israel will respond to the houthi threat. any escalation could have significant consequences for the region and beyond.
