Israel strikes back: Huthi attacks shake Tel Aviv!

Tel Aviv, Israel - On May 6, 2025, the Israeli Air Force attacked dozens of goals in the Yemen in the Yemen in response to a rocket attack by the Islamist Huthi militia. The missile-shot area was near the Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, where a Huthi rocket was hit and eight people injured, while air traffic was temporarily interrupted. Israel's military confirmed the impact that could not be intercepted by the defense system and explained that the Huthi-Miliz had used a ballistic hyper-sound missile. Videos of the scene show ascending smoke and panicked reactions at the airport, which underlined the tense situation, which was in parallel for ongoing security advice from the Israeli government, in which a possible expansion of the attacks in the Gaza Strip was discussed.

The Israeli military has set itself the goal of weakening the huthi military skills in Yemen and in particular to attack their infrastructure, which is important for the transport of Iranian weapons. Among other things, attacks on a concrete factory west of Hudaida were carried out, which is apparently used for the construction of military facilities. According to the Ministry of Health controlled by the Huthi, two people died in this attack, while 42 others were injured. Videos show violent explosions and the emergency reactions of the emergency services.

threat from the Huthi militia

The Huthi militia has strengthened its attacks on Israel in the past few days and threatened to continue to disturb air traffic to Israel. Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz reacted with a threat that aimed at a "seven -fold" counter -strike if the attacks on Israel were to stop. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made it clear that the security of the Israeli citizens has top priority and start the security consultations to evaluate the current situation.

Despite an existing ceasefire that has been in effect since November 2023, Israel continues to carry out military promotions in Lebanon and has recently attacked Hezbollah's positions. This shows the tense state of the region, where current conflicts include several fronts. The port of Hudaida is considered strategically important and plays a central role for the Huthi who bring weapons into the country.

international reactions and effects

The military conflicts in Yemen and between Israel and the Huthi also have international consequences. The United States has been bombing Huthi positions for several weeks to protect international shipping in the Red Sea, as the Huthi continues to attack commercial and military ships. Incidentally, Israel's military has no more attacks on goals in Yemen in the past few months, but this changes with recent developments.

The situation remains tense and the intended other military actions of Israel could significantly influence the dynamics of the current conflicts in the region. The Gaza War, triggered by a Hamas attack in October 2023, remains a central point in this complex mixture, while the Huthi militia has signaled to continue its attacks.
