The U.S. and UK militaries have conducted strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen, responding to the rebels’ attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea, purportedly supporting Hamas. The Houthis, controlling much of Yemen and backed by Iran, threatened retaliation, potentially escalating regional conflict.
In a separate operation, the U.S. launched an additional strike against the Houthis, as confirmed by two U.S. defense officials.
