A sharp escalation has erupted between Israel and Yemen's Houthi rebels, with Israel launching airstrikes on Houthi-controlled Hodeidah port in Yemen and intercepting multiple missiles and drones fired from Yemen toward Israeli territory, including Ben Gurion Airport.
The Houthis, backed by Iran, claim their attacks are retaliation for Israeli strikes and have vowed further action unless Israel ends its offensive in Gaza. These exchanges have triggered air raid sirens across central Israel and briefly disrupted air traffic, raising fears of a broader regional conflict. The UN and regional powers have expressed concern about the potential for further escalation and instability in the Red Sea area.
The situation remains volatile as both sides warn of continued military action.
