Israel Faces Escalating Houthi Missile Threat from Yemen

Iran-backed Houthi rebels intensify attacks on Israel, disrupting daily life and global trade as other regional conflicts ease.

Houthi missile and drone strikes on Israel have intensified, targeting major cities like Tel Aviv and disrupting civilian life with frequent air raid sirens.
The attacks have caused limited physical damage due to Israel's aerial defense systems but have resulted in fatalities and significant psychological and economic impacts.
Houthi strikes on Red Sea shipping routes have forced ships to reroute around Africa, severely affecting Israeli trade and port operations in Eilat.
Israel has retaliated with airstrikes on Houthi infrastructure in Yemen, but the lack of intelligence and inability to conduct a ground invasion have limited their effectiveness.
The ongoing conflict underscores the Houthis' symbolic role in Iran's 'Axis of Resistance,' posing a persistent challenge to Israel's regional security and global trade stability.
