Israeli fighter jets launched a retaliatory strike on the Houthi stronghold in Yemen on Saturday, in response to a deadly drone attack in Tel Aviv earlier in the week. This marks the first time that Israeli jets have targeted Yemen, a country where the Iran-backed Houthi rebels have been engaged in a long-running conflict with the government.
The strike comes after a drone attack in Tel Aviv, which killed several civilians and caused significant damage. Israeli officials have blamed the Houthi rebels for the attack, citing their support from Iran as the reason for targeting Israeli territory.
The Israeli jets targeted Houthi positions in Yemen, aiming to disrupt the group’s ability to carry out further attacks on Israeli soil. The strike is seen as a warning to the Iranian-backed group, indicating that Israel will not hesitate to take action to protect its citizens.
The situation in the region remains tense, with ongoing conflicts and tensions between various factions. The Israeli strike on Yemen is likely to escalate tensions further and could lead to further retaliation from the Houthi rebels or their supporters.
It remains to be seen how the situation will develop in the coming days, but for now, Israel has made it clear that it will not tolerate attacks on its soil and will take decisive action to protect its citizens.
