In a retaliatory move, Israel has launched a series of airstrikes against the Houthi-held Yemeni city of Sanaa, just a day after a deadly attack in Tel Aviv that left multiple people dead and many others injured.
The Israeli strikes targeted Houthi military installations and infrastructure in Sanaa, with reports indicating that several key facilities were destroyed in the bombardment. The Israeli military has stated that the strikes were in response to the recent attack in Tel Aviv, which it has blamed on the Houthi rebels.
The attack in Tel Aviv, which occurred at a popular market in the city center, has been condemned by leaders around the world as a senseless act of violence. Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has vowed to take strong action against those responsible for the attack, and the airstrikes in Sanaa are seen as a part of that response.
The Houthi rebels, who have been fighting a bloody civil war in Yemen for years, have denied any involvement in the attack in Tel Aviv. However, Israeli officials have pointed to intelligence suggesting that the Houthis were behind the attack, leading to the decision to launch the airstrikes in Sanaa.
The situation in Yemen remains volatile, with the ongoing conflict between the Houthi rebels and the internationally recognized government causing immense suffering for the people of the country. The Israeli strikes are likely to further escalate tensions in the region, with fears of a wider conflict breaking out as a result.
World leaders have called for restraint on all sides and for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Yemen. The United Nations has also expressed concern over the situation, calling for an immediate ceasefire and a return to negotiations to end the conflict.
The Israeli airstrikes in Sanaa mark a dangerous escalation in the conflict in Yemen and threaten to further destabilize an already volatile region. The international community must work together to find a peaceful solution to the conflict and prevent further bloodshed and suffering for the people of Yemen.
