US Strikes Houthi Targets in Yemen's Capital Sanaa After Ballistic Missile Hit Tel Aviv

The US military said it conducted precision airstrikes on December 21 against a missile storage facility and a command-and-control facility operated by Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen's capital, Sanaa. In a statement, the US military's Central Command said the strikes aimed to "disrupt and degrade Houthi operations, such as attacks against US Navy warships and merchant vessels in the Southern Red Sea, Bab al-Mandeb, and Gulf of Aden." The US military also said it struck multiple Houthi one-way drones and an anti-ship cruise missile over the Red Sea. The strike followed a Houthi missile attack on Israel that struck Tel Aviv and injured 15 people. Earlier on December 19, Houthis claimed a drone attack on "Israeli military targets." The Houthi attack of December 19 coincided with Israel's strikes against ports and energy infrastructure in Houthi-held parts of Yemen. The Houthis have vowed continuous attacks on Israel and its allies in purported solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
