Shortly after American and British missiles targeted Houthi rebels, resulting in five casualties and six injuries, the United States clarified its disinterest in a war with Yemen. President Biden’s swift actions aimed at preventing further conflict escalation. The joint military strikes were a response to nearly two months of attacks by the Iran-backed Houthi movement on cargo ships in the Red Sea, causing disruptions to commercial shipping and impacting the global economy.
In a recent statement, Houthi rebels expressed their intention to target Western support for Israel. A coalition of countries executed a military operation last night, aiming to dismantle Houthi military infrastructure and munitions. The operation included targeting locations in the Yemeni capital, which is largely under Houthi control.
“Houthi Targets Western Support for Israel, Coalition Launches Military Operation“
Yahya Sarea the houthi military spokesman said, “American and British were responsible for criminal aggression which would be answered with attacks on all hostile Targets on land and sea“.
Also, Yemen’s Houthi leader Abdel-malik al-houthi responded, “We will not hesitate, God willing to do everything we can and we will confront the American aggression. Any American aggression will never remain without a response. And the response will not only be at the Velev of the recent operation that targeted Americans at sea with more than 24 drones and several missiles. The response will be greater than that and more than that. And with that, we are more determined to continue and target ships linked to Israel, and we will not back down from that and our Position stems from our faith. The Americans should know what that means. We say to all countries, to Asian countries like China and others, and we say to European countries in the west we say to everyone in the world: there is no problem for you to traverse and pass through the Rd Sea. Only targets exclusively are ships linked to Israel“.

Despite the airstrikes, the Houthi movement’s Supreme Political Council vowed Friday to continue targeting commercial ships in the Red Sea. Thousands of demonstrators turned out in Sanaa Friday, burning U.S. flags and chanting “God is great, death to America, death to Israel.”
