The Houthis in Yemen have officially confirmed launching attacks directed at Israel for the very first time during the current conflict. This development marks a significant escalation, bringing the conflict directly to Israel’s doorstep and drawing more regional players into the fray. It’s a situation that many observers felt was inevitable, given the ongoing regional tensions and the Houthi’s established alignment with Iran.

Following the attacks, which were part of “Operation Black Flag,” two missiles were launched from Yemen into Israel, prompting sirens in several areas. The Houthis responded by claiming their air defenses engaged with Israeli strikes using surface-to-air missiles. Israel stated these strikes were in response to repeated attacks by the Houthis and that the targeted ports were being used to transfer weapons from Iran to carry out terror plans.
