Summary
The recent Israeli airstrikes in Yemen targeted Hodeidah port and a cement factory, claiming they supported Houthi operations against Israel. The strikes injured 21 people and were attributed to coordination between Israel and the U.S., though U.S. forces did not participate directly. Netanyahu pledged revenge after a missile attack near Tel Aviv avoided interception, marking a new phase in Israeli Yemeni engagement as part of broader efforts aligned with U.S. interests since Trump's return. Since November 2023, Houthi-backed attacks, including drone strikes, have targeted vessels linked to Israel, resuming operations post-Israel's Gaza offensive and humanitarian aid cutoff.
