Israel attacks Yemen

[Parky04]

War has now escalated. Very worrying times.

We live in very interesting times. If the rumours are true about Saudi Arabia allowing Israel to use it's airspace to facilitate the attack, then Saudi oilfields are in play in retaliation, meaning a spike in oil prices.

Houthi spokesperson on Houthi run television channel today blamed Israel for strikes carried out on Hodeidah, a port city in Yemen. As yet, the IDF have neither confirmed nor denied any Israeli involvement but it's been reported by unverified sources as Israeli retaliation for a Houthi drone attack on Tel Aviv on Friday, launched from Yemen, that killed one and injured at least ten people. The Houthis claimed responsibility for the drone attack and publicised it threatening further attacks with the intention of escalating the conflict.

FTFY.

So your thread title is incorrect, as that should be "Yemen attacks Israel" in the first instance, if you want to talk about escalation.

@RoastSquash

Are you letting the truth get in the way again!!

Israel retaliates against the Yemeni Houthis, surely?

Silly me!

CNN —
Israel authorities are investigating the circumstances and potential security lapses around a deadly drone blast in Tel Aviv that killed one man and injured at least 10 others on Friday.

The attack was claimed by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, in what the Iranian proxy group said was a response to Israel’s war in Gaza. Houthi spokesperson Yahya Sare’e said the operation was performed by a new drone capable of “bypassing the enemy’s interception systems.”

“We will continue to strike these targets in response to the enemy’s massacres and daily crimes against our brothers in the Gaza Strip,” Sare’e said. “Our operations will only cease when the aggression stops and the siege on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted.”

Lethal Houthi Drone Strike on Tel Aviv Marks Dramatic New Phase for War Since Oct. 7

The Houthis, armed with increasingly sophisticated long-range weapons supplied by Iran, say Tel Aviv will now be a main target. That means Israel's multifront war just got tougher – and the conflict is set to become regional.

The drone strike in Tel Aviv early Friday signals a new stage in the war, setting it up to be a regional, multifront conflict. The explosion near the U.S. Embassy's Tel Aviv branch killed one man in his apartment and wounded around 10 people hit by shrapnel.
