Israel's air strikes in Yemen: Huthi militia threatens counterattack!

Tel Aviv, Israel - The tensions in the Middle East are increasing again: the Israeli army has intercepted a rocket that was fired from Yemen. According to oe24 the rocket alarm was triggered in several regions of Israels, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. So far there are no reports on injuries or damage to property. The Houthi militia, which is often considered to be supported by Iran, is behind these attacks and has repeatedly fired rockets in Israeli territory in the past few days.

The latest incidents are another expression of the aggressive military strategy of the Huthis, which have increased during the Gaza war that has been going on since October 2023. Israel's Air Force has already reacted to the Houthi positions in Yemen several times, including air strikes to the port city of Hudaida, which is considered an important logistics center for the militia.

In response to a recent rocket attack on the international airport Tel Aviv, Israel carried out targeted air raids against Huthi positions in Yemen, such as General reported. These attacks aimed at the port of Hudaida and a concrete factory east of the city, which is used for the construction of military infrastructure. The attack included the use of around 20 fighter jets and the dropping of 50 ammunition charges.

The concrete factory in the city of Badschil, about 50 kilometers east of Hudaida, was hit hard, which led to loud explosions and smoke development. There were at least 21 injuries. The attack on the Huthis is seen as an attempt to weaken their military upgrading skills and an economic basis. Israel's Minister of Defense Israel Katz threatened with a "seven -fold" counter -strike.
