Israeli Strikes Hit Houthi Targets in Yemen

Israeli airstrikes have targeted multiple locations in Yemen, including Sanaa International Airport and the Hodeida port, in response to missile attacks from the Iran-backed Houthi rebels. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that these strikes are a demonstration of military strength, aiming to dismantle Houthi infrastructure that threatens Israel. The World Health Organization's director-general reported damage to airport facilities during the strikes while he was in Sanaa, although he and his team remained unharmed. The recent escalation follows a series of Houthi missile attacks that have caused alarm in Israel, including one that injured 16 people in Tel Aviv. The UN Security Council is set to convene to discuss the situation amid increasing tensions, as Israel pushes for the Houthis to be designated a terrorist organization. Meanwhile, the Houthis reaffirmed their commitment to continue operations against Israel, citing solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
