History

Historical Context

Israel's recent military actions against Yemen's Houthis echo a long history of regional conflicts involving asymmetric warfare and retaliatory strikes. The Houthis, empowered since 2014 amid Yemen's civil war, have launched missile attacks on Israel, prompting Israeli airstrikes in response. This cycle mirrors past conflicts, such as Israel's operations against Hezbollah, where retaliatory strikes aimed to deter perceived threats while entangling multiple nations in complex geopolitical tensions.
