In an unexpected twist, Yemen's Houthi group claimed responsibility for a drone operation over Tel Aviv on Friday. The group stated that two drones hit two military targets in the city, a move they say supports the Palestinian cause and challenges what they call ongoing American aggression. 🚀
In a related development, a Yemeni drone was intercepted near the Dead Sea within Jordanian airspace and later crashed in the Ma'in area of Madaba—fortunately, no casualties were reported, according to the Jordanian army.
This incident comes as the Houthis have been active, with earlier claims of attacks on the USS Harry S. Truman and other U.S. warships in the northern Red Sea. At the same time, intensified U.S. airstrikes in northern Yemen have targeted locations in Sanaa, Marib, and Hodeidah. Locals in Sanaa describe the sudden roar of fighter jets and missiles with barely a moment’s warning. 💥
The Houthis, who control northern Yemen, have indicated they would halt further attacks if Israel stops its military actions in Gaza and allows essential humanitarian aid into the region. These unfolding events highlight rising tensions and a complex mix of military maneuvers across the area. Stay tuned for more updates as the situation develops! 🌏
