Yemen’s Houthi rebels have vowed to increase their military actions against Israel following a series of deadly strikes carried out by the Israeli forces. The attacks, which targeted Hezbollah and the Iran-aligned Houthi militia in Yemen, resulted in the death of five people and left 57 others injured, as confirmed by the group’s spokesperson.
The Pentagon revealed that Israel had informed but not coordinated with the U.S. before launching the strikes in Yemen. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated that Israel has the right to defend itself against Iran-backed groups like Hezbollah and the Houthis. However, she also emphasized the need for a ceasefire between Israel and such factions.
The escalating tensions between Israel and the Houthi rebels in Yemen have raised concerns about the possibility of further violence in the region. With both sides showing a willingness to engage in military actions, the situation remains volatile and unpredictable. Observers fear that the conflict could spill over into other parts of the Middle East, leading to more bloodshed and instability.
As the international community calls for restraint and dialogue to resolve the conflict, the situation in Yemen continues to deteriorate. The threats of escalation from the Houthi rebels further complicate efforts to achieve peace and stability in the region. The coming days will be crucial in determining whether both sides can find a path towards de-escalation or if the conflict will intensify with devastating consequences.
