History

Historical Context

Yemen's Houthi forces have escalated their missile and drone attacks on Israeli targets, citing retaliation for Israel's actions in Gaza. This mirrors past regional dynamics, such as the 2006 Lebanon War, where Hezbollah similarly targeted Israel in solidarity with Palestinians. The Houthis' alignment with Iran further complicates the situation, reflecting ongoing tensions in the Middle East that have persisted since the Arab Spring and the Syrian Civil War.
