Israel Strikes Houthi Military Sites in Retaliatory Attacks

In a retaliatory move, Israel launched airstrikes against military sites belonging to the Houthi rebels in Yemen. The strikes targeted the presidential palace and other Houthi infrastructure, according to Israeli officials. The attacks came in response to recent Houthi assaults on Israeli targets, which included missile and drone strikes. Israel's military stated that the strikes were aimed at disrupting the Houthis' ability to plan and execute future attacks against Israel. The Houthi movement, which controls large parts of Yemen, has been engaged in a long-running conflict with the Saudi-led coalition supporting the Yemeni government. The latest escalation between Israel and the Houthis adds a new dimension to the complex regional dynamics in the Middle East. Both sides have accused the other of provoking the latest round of violence, underscoring the ongoing tensions and the potential for further escalation in the region.
