Israel launched airstrikes in Yemen, targeting sites like the Sanaa International Airport and the port of Hudaydah. These strikes were a response to recent missile attacks on Tel Aviv by Iran-backed Houthi fighters, who claim solidarity with Palestinians amid the Gaza war. The Israeli military accused Houthis of smuggling Iranian weapons into the region while vowing continued retaliation against what they call "the terror arm" of Iran’s influence. Meanwhile, ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas have stalled as regional tensions intensify further.
