Tensions between Yemen’s Huthi rebels and Israel have escalated significantly, with the Huthis claiming to have launched new attacks on Israel in response to Israeli strikes on Yemen’s Sanaa international airport . The airport, which is a critical hub for humanitarian aid, was pounded by Israeli raids just a day earlier, resulting in significant damage and disruption to aid efforts.
The Huthis, who are backed by Iran, have been increasingly targeting Israel in recent months, claiming solidarity with the Palestinian people. In response, Israel has launched several strikes against Huthi targets in Yemen, including military facilities and power stations. The situation is rapidly deteriorating, with both sides exchanging blows and the humanitarian situation in Yemen continuing to worsen.
The international community is growing increasingly concerned about the escalation of violence between Israel and the Huthis. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has denounced the “escalation” in hostilities and called for restraint from all parties involved . The conflict is not only having a devastating impact on civilians in Yemen but also threatening to destabilize the entire region.
As the situation continues to unfold, it is clear that a lasting resolution will require a concerted effort from the international community to address the underlying issues driving the conflict. Until then, the people of Yemen will continue to suffer the consequences of this devastating war.
