Yemen's Houthi militia, led by Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, has declared an intent to continue attacking Israel without abiding by any rules of engagement. They emphasize targeting sensitive Israeli institutions as a response to Israeli strikes on Yemen, indicating no benefits for Israel in such actions. Recent conflicts escalated with a Houthi drone strike hitting Tel Aviv, leading to Israeli retaliation on Hodeidah port, seen as a strategic location for Iranian weaponry. Israeli security chiefs have shifted from a stance of restraint to active retaliation, acknowledging the potential for further escalation and involving legal approvals for military operations.
