Israel Launches Air Strikes in Yemen, Targeting Houthi Military Infrastructure Amid Ongoing Regional Tensions

today30 September, 2024

Background

Israel has announced it has conducted extensive air strikes in Yemen, focusing on what it describes as military targets associated with the Houthi regime, which it labels as terrorist. These targets included a seaport, weapons depots, and various infrastructure sites. In retaliation for Israel’s ongoing offensive in Gaza, the Iran-backed Houthis have fired missiles and drones at Israel, also affecting global trade through the Red Sea. The air strikes coincide with Israel’s operations in Lebanon, particularly targeting Dahieh, a Hezbollah stronghold in southern Beirut.
