Israel Weighs Broader Strikes on Houthis in Yemen After Missile Attacks

Dec 8, 2024, 07:15 PM

Israeli defense officials are reportedly considering a significant military operation against Houthi targets in Yemen, according to Kann News. The move comes in response to two ballistic missiles launched from Yemen at Israel in the last 48 hours, both of which were intercepted. The Houthis, a group based in Western Yemen, have been escalating their attacks on Israel using ballistic missiles and drones. Israeli officials believe a strong retaliatory strike is necessary to send a "painful message" to the Houthis. This potential operation would mark an expansion of Israel's military actions in the region, with broader attacks being considered.
