The clashes between Israel and the Houthi rebels in Yemen are escalating. The Israeli air force massively bombed the Yemeni port of Hodeida on Saturday, July 20.
Israeli Prime Minister overseeing airstrikes in Yemen. Benjamin Netanyahu’s determination symbolizes a dangerous cycle of retaliation. On Saturday, July 20, the port of Hodeida (Yemen) was targeted. The gigantic blaze left six dead and dozens injured. It is the economic lung of the area controlled by the Houthis, rebels close to Iran, sworn enemies of Israel. They have promised revenge.
“The response to the Israeli aggression against our country will be inevitable and enormous”said Yahya Saree, the Houthi military spokesman. A duel at a distance, since the Israeli planes traveled 1,700 km to strike the Houthis. These unprecedented attacks, decided by the Hebrew state, are in reality a response after Friday, for the first time, a drone sent by the Houthis exploded in the heart of Tel Aviv (Israel), killing one person and injuring several others.
Israel considered that a red line had been crossed. “With this response, the Israeli Prime Minister also indirectly threatens the ayatollahs’ regime, since Iran arms and finances the Houthi rebels.”says Maryse Burgot, special correspondent in Jerusalem.
