Israel Strikes Houthi Targets in Yemen

Israel has intensified its military operations against Houthi militia in Yemen, conducting airstrikes on key infrastructure, including Sanaa International Airport and power stations, following a series of rocket attacks from the Houthis. WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who was at the airport during the strikes, reported injuries among his crew and described significant damage to the facility. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu framed the strikes as a necessary response to Iranian-backed terrorism, asserting that operations will continue until their objectives are met. Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General António Guterres expressed alarm over the escalation and called for restraint from both parties, citing the dire humanitarian implications for Yemen. The ongoing conflict has raised concerns about further destabilization in the region, as Israeli actions are perceived to exacerbate existing tensions. Analysts warn of the potential for a broader humanitarian crisis as military confrontations continue to escalate.
