Israel responded to a Houthi missile targeting central Israel by launching airstrikes against the rebel-held capital and a port city in Yemen, killing at least nine people.
Israel launched a series of intense airstrikes against the rebel-held capital of Yemen and a port city early Thursday, killing at least nine people, officials said shortly after a Houthi missile targeted central Israel . Thursday's attacks could further escalate the conflict with the Iran-backed Houthis, whose campaign in the Red Sea corridor has drastically affected global shipping.
The rebels have so far avoided the same level of intensity of military attacks that have targeted the Palestinian militant group Hamas and Hezbollah of Lebanon, members of Tehran's self-proclaimed “Resistance Axis”. The Israeli army said it carried out two waves of attacks in a pre-planned operation that began early Thursday, involving 14 fighter jets. The first barrage targeted Houthi infrastructure in the ports of Hodeida and Salif and the Ras Isa oil terminal on the Red Sea, it explained. The Houthi-controlled satellite channel, al-Masirah, reported that some of the attacks targeted power stations in the capital and published videos of a structure engulfed in flames, while civil defense workers tried to extinguish the fire
