Yemen’s Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for missile and drone attacks on the Israeli cities of Tel Aviv and Ashkelon, as well as three US Navy warships. The group has vowed to continue its attacks until Israel halts its operations in Lebanon and Gaza.
Israel successfully intercepted a missile fired from Yemen, but the Houthis claim to have also targeted US warships in the Red Sea. They have previously targeted Israel and Israeli-linked ships, claiming solidarity with Palestinians under Israeli attack.
The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah is escalating, with hundreds of casualties reported. The Houthis’ demands for Israel to cease its operations in Lebanon and Gaza, coupled with the escalating violence, raise concerns about further regional instability.
