Yemen's Houthi fighters claimed responsibility for targeting the USS Harry S Truman aircraft carrier, leading to the downing of an F-18, though the US dismissed this as friendly fire.
CENTCOM confirmed the downed F-18 was not due to hostile fire and underscored that both pilots ejected safely. A full investigation is currently underway regarding this incident.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed retaliation against the Houthi rebels, linking them to Iran's influence in the region, particularly in light of their missile attack on Tel Aviv.
The Houthis' actions, marked by drone and missile attacks targeting both Israel and maritime interests, are framed as solidarity with Palestinians affected by ongoing violence in Gaza.
