Yemen's Houthi forces claim they launched ballistic missiles at an Israeli military site in Tel Aviv—escalating regional tensions amid ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon. The group stated Tuesday’s attack was a show of support for Hamas and Hezbollah allies, calling it a \"defensive act.\"
🔥 Why it matters: This marks the Houthis' first direct claim of targeting Israeli territory, signaling a potential expansion of the Middle East’s conflict web. Analysts warn such moves could draw more actors into the volatile region.
🌐 The big picture: The Houthis—who control northern Yemen—have previously attacked ships in the Red Sea linked to Israel. Their latest statement emphasizes \"unity\" with Palestinian and Lebanese groups, though Israel hasn’t confirmed the strike.
