Israeli jets respond to Houthi drone attack in Tel Aviv with airstrikes in Yemen, causing casualties. Find out more!

Israeli jets launched a striking response on Houthi targets in Yemen following a drone attack on Tel Aviv. The air strikes resulted in three fatalities and 87 injuries, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict. Israel's Defence Minister, Yoav Gallant, emphasized that the action was a clear message to the Iranian-backed group, while Houthi official Mohammed Abdulsalam condemned the 'aggression' by Israel.

The Israeli attack on Yemeni soil is a rare occurrence and comes amidst heightened tensions in the region. Houthi rebels reported the casualties from the airstrikes on a Yemeni port just a day after their drone strike in Tel Aviv. The back-and-forth strikes have intensified the conflict, with Israel vowing to defend itself against further attacks.

In response to Houthi attacks, Israeli military action targeted Hodeidah, resulting in further casualties. The strikes in Yemen followed the interception of a surface-to-surface missile aimed at Eilat, a key resort town. This rapid escalation highlights the volatile nature of the conflict and the challenges faced by both parties in maintaining control over the situation.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Justice Minister Yariv Levin's boycott of the vote to approve the Yemen strike underscores the complexities and controversies surrounding the military response. Meanwhile, both Israel and Houthi rebels confirm the interception of missiles, indicating the high stakes involved in the ongoing conflict.
