History

Historical Context

The recent missile interception in Israel by Houthi forces reflects a broader pattern of regional conflict. Since the Houthis gained control in Yemen in 2014, they have increasingly targeted Israel, especially following the 2023 Gaza war. This escalation mirrors past conflicts where proxy battles intensified, such as the Iran-Iraq War, revealing how local disputes can spiral into wider regional confrontations.
