The political situation in Yemen has worsened with the resignation of the prime minister amid increasing missile strikes by Houthi forces targeting Israel. These attacks are characterized by the Houthis as solidarity with Palestinians amidst ongoing Israeli military actions in Gaza. Concurrently, the United States has intensified its airstrikes in Yemen, resulting in high civilian casualties. Reports indicate that numerous civilians have been killed in these strikes, raising concerns over the humanitarian situation as violence escalates in the region.
The Houthis have increasingly targeted Israel and shipping routes in the Red Sea, stating that their actions are acts of solidarity with Palestinians as Israel continues its assault on Gaza.
The Israeli army confirmed on Saturday it had activated air raid sirens across parts of the country following the missile launch. No injuries or major damage were reported.
Last month, a US strike on the same port killed at least 80 people and wounded 150 in one of the deadliest attacks on the country by US forces.
The high civilian toll from US strikes is drawing increasing alarm. The UK-based monitor Airwars reported that between 27 and 55 civilians were killed in March alone.
