On Friday, the United States targeted 15 Houthi positions in Yemen, aiming to curb attacks on maritime shipping. The strikes targeted Houthi military capabilities, as tensions continue with Israel and the rebels. US Central Command stated these actions were taken to ensure safer international waters.
The United States military conducted strikes on 15 Houthi targets in Yemen, focusing on areas controlled by the Iran-backed rebels.
The airstrikes spanned four provinces, including Sanaa and Hodeida, as reported by Al Masirah television network.
These military actions, which the US Central Command (CENTCOM) stated were aimed at neutralizing Houthi offensive capabilities, are part of an effort to maintain safety and freedom of navigation in international waters.
The Houthi rebels have targeted shipping routes in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, claiming these attacks are in solidarity with Palestinians during the Gaza conflict.
The strikes came shortly after the Houthis launched a drone attack on Tel Aviv, which the Israeli military reported intercepting.
The situation is part of a broader regional conflict involving Iran-linked groups opposing the US and Israel.
