Red Sea Threat: US and UK airstrikes on Yemen can embolden Houthis, says senior analyst | Oneindia
The United States and the United Kingdom launched airstrikes on Thursday night targeting Houthi facilities in Yemen.
This marks the first time during the war that the US and its allies have directly attacked Yemeni territory in retaliation for the Houthi group's actions in the Red Sea.
However, analysts are suggesting that rather than being deterred, the Houthis might be further emboldened by these attacks.
Despite not being internationally recognised as the government of Yemen, the group controls significant portions of the country, and experts believe that the increased attention from the world's sole superpower could elevate their regional and domestic profile.
The U.S. has unleashed a fresh wave of airstrikes on Yemen, intensifying military action after a missile hit Israel's Ben Gurion Airport. Sana'a became the primary target, with heavy bombardment hitting districts like Bani Matar and Bani Hushaysh, while shops in the commercial hub were damaged and 14 civilians injured. With over 1,000 strikes launched so far, Trump has warned Iran and the Houthis of severe consequences, promising that U.S. strikes will continue until Yemen halts its attacks on Israel.

Israel has admitted a rare and alarming failure in its Arrow missile defense system after a Houthi missile struck Ben Gurion Airport. A top air force official called it a "pinpoint technical malfunction," saying detection worked but interception failed. The strike traveled from Yemen unchallenged, exposing a vulnerability that has shocked Israeli citizens and alarmed Western allies. As the Houthis grow more bold and precise, questions loom over the effectiveness of Israelās high-tech defense systems like Arrow and Iron Dome. This incident could shift regional strategy and trust in Israeli deterrence.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has issued a direct and forceful warning to Iran following a serious incident involving a Houthi drone that forced the USS Harry S. Truman to take evasive actionāresulting in the loss of an F-18 jet. Hegseth declared that Iran will āpay the consequence at the time and place of our choosing,ā calling out Iranās support for the Houthi terrorist group. Backed by President Trumpās retweet, this message signals a potential escalation as the U.S. vows to respond decisively to any further aggression in the Red Sea region.

Britain and the United States have carried out new joint airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, marking the UKās first publicized strike operation alongside the U.S. since the Trump era. RAF Typhoon jets targeted Houthi drone sites near Sanaa, in response to escalating attacks on commercial shipping and missiles fired toward Israel. These Iran-backed assaults have disrupted global trade in the Red Sea by over 50%. UK Defense Secretary John Healey warned the ongoing Houthi threat poses serious risks to regional stability, global shipping, and national economies. All RAF aircraft returned safely.

The U.S. Navy's Harry S. Truman may soon exit the Red Sea after enduring multiple strikes from Yemeni forces, including missiles and drones, in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes that targeted civilians. Yemeni defense sources report that the carrier could have been hit, forcing it to retreat. Meanwhile, a U.S. Navy Super Hornet jet fell into the sea amid the attack. With rising tensions in the region and ongoing missile threats, the Truman may follow other carriers that have withdrawn under pressure from Yemeni forces.

A $60 million U.S. Navy F/A-18E Super Hornet has been lost under mysterious circumstances in the Red Sea after what appears to be a high-intensity encounter involving the USS Harry S. Truman and Houthi forces. According to the U.S. Navy, the aircraft was under tow when the move crew lost control, sending it overboard ā but questions are mounting. The incident comes amid escalating attacks on the Truman carrier group by Yemenās Ansar Allah forces, sparking speculation of a potential strike rather than an accident. With rising tensions in the region and Trumanās recent history of close calls, experts are questioning the official narrative.

In a fresh act of aggression in the on-going tit-for-tat attacks between the U.S. and the Yemeni Houthis, U.S F-16s bombed 4 Yemen Provinces striking fear and anxiety in the minds of residents. Yemen has however remained steadfast in its support for the Palestinian cause and condemned the U.S strikes as a blatant violation of its sovereignty. With both sides refusing to back down there are fears rising that the Red Sea could become the theatre for a full-scale war.

Two Israeli Defense Force (IDF) soldiers, Captain Noam Ravid (23) and Sergeant Yaly Seror (20), were killed in a deadly explosion in Rafah, Gaza, while conducting a tunnel scan. The soldiers, part of the elite Yahalom unit under the Golani Brigade, were checking a booby-trapped tunnel shaft. The tragic event raises the death toll of Israeli soldiers in the ongoing Gaza offensive to at least 416. Meanwhile, Israeli operations continue as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens with looting and aid shortages escalating.

A chilling new IDF investigation confirms what many fearedāIsraeli troops abandoned civilians on Zikim Beach as Hamas launched a deadly attack on October 7. Seventeen Israelis were killed after Hamas fighters landed via speedboats, with Golani Brigade troops failing to engage. The probe cites ethical and professional failures, exposing a 40-hour communication breakdown between forces. Only one navy patrol boat resisted. Community defense squads fought back alone. As shocking images and reports emerge, Israel faces painful questions about its military preparedness and the price civilians paid for that failure.

Israel faced a dramatic escalation as Yemenās Houthi rebels launched four ballistic missile attacks within 24 hours, targeting key military sites and population centers. Among the weapons used was the "Palestine-2" hypersonic missile, which reportedly struck near Tel Aviv, triggering widespread air raid sirens and panic. Though the Israeli Defense Forces claim successful interceptions, missile debris injured civilians and landed as far as a kindergarten. The Iron Dome's effectiveness is now under scrutiny as the Houthis vow more strikes and warn Muslim nations against remaining silent. Despite U.S. airstrikes in Yemen killing hundreds of militants, the Houthi barrage continues, threatening to widen the regional conflict.
