The Israeli military conducted airstrikes on three ports and a power plant in Houthi-controlled Yemen, which elicited missile retaliation from the Houthis towards Israel. The attacks marked Israel's first military action against Yemen in nearly a month and were prompted by a missile interception earlier that day. Sirens were activated in several Israeli cities due to the incoming missiles. The Houthis, claiming to support Palestinians in Gaza, have escalated their missile campaigns, resuming hostilities following previous U.S. military actions in Yemen that resulted in significant casualties.
Israeli military has bombed three ports and a power plant in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, prompting the rebel group to fire more missiles towards Israeli territory.
The Israeli attacks late on Sunday were the first on Yemen in almost a month and came after the military claimed that it intercepted a missile fired by the Houthis.
The Houthis say their attacks on Israel are in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza who are under Israeli attack, firing hundreds of missiles since the Gaza conflict began.
The latest escalation comes at a sensitive moment in the Middle East as a possible ceasefire in Israel's war on Gaza appears imminent.
