On December 15, 2024, reports emerged of joint airstrikes conducted by U.S. and British forces targeting Houthi positions in Yemen's Al-Tuhayta district, located in the Hodeidah Governorate. Yemeni media affiliated with the Houthis described the strikes as an act of aggression, indicating that the airstrikes were aimed at areas linked to the Houthi militia. The airstrikes were confirmed by various sources, including U.S. media, which noted that the operations were in response to the Houthis' ongoing attacks on civilian shipping in the Red Sea. The situation escalated further when, on December 16, the Israeli Navy intercepted a drone launched from Yemen, preventing it from entering Israeli airspace. This incident highlights the ongoing tensions in the region, particularly involving Houthi forces and their activities in the Red Sea and against neighboring countries.
