US Conducts Airstrikes on Houthi Site in Amran

The US military launched five airstrikes on a Houthi military site in Yemen's Amran province on Friday morning, as reported by Houthi-controlled al-Masirah TV. This action follows a speech by Houthi leader Abdulmalik al-Houthi, who vowed to continue long-range rocket attacks against Israel in response to ongoing Israeli actions in Gaza. He stated that military operations would persist unless Israel halts its hostilities and adheres to the proposed ceasefire. The US Central Command has yet to comment on the strikes, which are part of a broader series of air raids targeting Houthi positions since January 2024. The Houthi leadership has claimed responsibility for numerous attacks against Israeli-linked targets as part of their support for Palestinians amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The strikes reflect the heightened tensions in the region, exacerbated by the recent escalation of violence in Gaza and the Houthis' stated commitment to retaliate against perceived aggressors.
