Recent timeline of the Israel, Yemen Conflict 

The recent exchange of attacks between Israel and Yemen marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between the two nations.

The Houthi rebels’ drone strike on Tel Aviv, which killed one person and injured 10 others, was a bold and unprecedented move that has raised concerns about the potential for a wider regional war.

Israel’s response, airstrikes on the Yemeni port of Hodeidah, has only added fuel to the fire, killing at least six people and injuring dozens more.

The targeting of a power plant and oil storage facilities has also sparked fears of a humanitarian crisis in Yemen, which is already reeling from years of conflict and poverty.

The roots of this conflict can be traced back to the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels’ takeover of Yemen’s capital, Sana’a, in 2014.

Since then, the Houthis have received significant support from Iran, which has enabled them to launch attacks on Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Israel’s involvement in the conflict has been largely driven by its concerns about Iran’s growing influence in the region.

The latest escalation has sparked fears of a wider regional war, with the US and UK urging restraint on both sides.

However, the Houthis have vowed to continue their attacks on Israeli targets, and the Israeli military has said it will do “everything necessary” to stop them.

The international community must act swiftly to prevent a catastrophic war in the region. Diplomatic efforts must be intensified to bring about a ceasefire and a negotiated settlement to the conflict.

The humanitarian crisis in Yemen must also be addressed, with urgent aid and assistance provided to those affected by the conflict.

The conflict between Israel and Yemen is a dangerous escalation that has the potential to engulf the entire region in war. It is imperative that all parties involved exercise restraint and work towards a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The international community must also play its part in preventing a humanitarian catastrophe in Yemen.
