Huthi-Miliz attacks Israel again: Siren howls in Haifa!

Haifa, Israel - The Yemeni Huthi militia has again attacked Israel. In the early afternoon, sirens sounded in many regions in northern Israel, including Haifa. The Israeli army reacted to a rocket with the shooting of a catchment aircraft that had been fired from Yemen. The result of the interception attempt is currently being examined. According to the Israeli ambulance service, David Adom stomach a woman on the way to a shelter. Already in the morning the Huthi had fired a floor towards Israel, but it was intercepted by the Israeli army before reaching Israeli areas. The Huthi claimed the attack for themselves, and remnants of the rocket damaged the roof of a kindergarten, but there were no injuries.

since March 18, when Israel re-resisted the attacks in the Gaza Strip, the Huthi-Miliz regularly fires rockets and drones towards Israel out of solidarity with Hamas. According to Israeli media, the Huthi has fired around 25 rockets and several drones since then, which have been successfully intercepted in most cases. These attacks are part of the ten -year civil war in Yemen, in which the Huthi control large areas in the north of the country.

US air attacks on Huthi positions

In this tense environment, the USA ordered massive attacks against the Huthi militia in Yemen. US President Trump explained to Truth Social that the air strikes are carried out at bases, leaders and missile defense against Huthi to protect American shipping. According to the Huthi, at least 18 people were killed in these attacks, with the attacks in the capital of Sanaa and other regions of Yemen. Trump has also warned Iran to end his support for the Huthi immediately and threaten with consequences if Iran is a threat to the USA.

The Huthi announced retaliation in response to the US attacks and explained that they would "not remain unanswered". They set Israel a deadline to stop a blockade of aid deliveries to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and announced that they can take the attack on Israeli ships again. The Huthi are considered allies of Hamas and have carried out numerous attacks on ships in the Red Sea since November 2023. These attacks were also justified by the military offensive of Israel in the Gaza Strip; However, many attacked ships had little or no reference to this conflict.

The EU military mission in the Red Sea

To combat the threat of the Huthi in the Red Sea, an EU military mission was launched with the aim of protecting merchant ships from attacks. The frigate "Hessen" is part of this assignment and is designed especially for escort protection. It is equipped with anti -aircraft missiles and is intended to secure shipping in the Red Sea. Huthi attacks on ships in this sea area also have an impact on global trade. Many shipping companies, including Hapag-Lloyd, avoid the Suez Canal and take longer routes around South Africa as well as the German economy, such as the production of Tesla in Grünheide.

The conflict in Yemen, which began in 2004, has meanwhile become a deputy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran. The Huthi, which in 2014 occupied the capital Sanaa and supported by Iran, have 180,000 to 200,000 armed fighters and military equipment. The UN Security Council has asked for an end to the attacks several times, but the Huthi are trying to position themselves as part of the "axis of resistance to Israel".
