The Israeli military said it struck Houthi military targets in Yemen’s port city of Hodeidah following the Iranian-backed rebel group’s drone attack in the center of Tel Aviv.
Retaliatory strikes between Israel and Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels could represent a 'dangerous turning point,' experts say, as the war in the Gaza Strip continues to enflame regional tensions. Israel struck the Yemeni port city of Al Hudaydah, a Houthi stronghold, on Saturday in what appeared to be the country's first strikes on Yemeni soil since the start of the war in Gaza in October.
” “Hezbollah and the Houthis have repeatedly said that they will not stop attacking Israel unless the latter ends its war against the Palestinians in Gaza,” Gerges added. Gershon Baskin, Middle East director of the International Communities Organization based in Israel, says the the big question is, 'what are Iran going to do?' 'In a logical scenario, the Houthis will realize they cross the line and that Israel has an enormous amount of firepower,' he said.
