In a dramatic escalation, the Israeli Air Force launched a precision night raid targeting the Houthi-controlled Galaxy Leader cargo ship — a vessel seized in 2023 and used as a propaganda symbol by Yemen’s Houthi forces.
The IDF says the ship was repurposed for surveillance and terror coordination in the Red Sea, following the year-long captivity of 25 international crew members.
This strike was part of Israel’s broader retaliation campaign under "Operation Black Flag" against Houthi infrastructure.
Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that any tool used to threaten Israeli citizens would be eliminated — and this ship was no exception.
Footage shows the Galaxy Leader engulfed in flames as Israeli fighter jets dropped dozens of munitions across western Yemen, including ports and power stations.
The Red Sea is now a live combat zone, and the message from Israel is clear: No more warnings.
Tensions erupt as Yemen’s Ansarullah movement responds to 20 Israeli airstrikes with a chilling vow to “rob the Zionists of their sleep.” Following strikes on Houthi ports, power stations, and surveillance assets, senior Yemeni officials promise direct retaliation. In this video, we break down the unfolding escalation, the official statements, and the full speech that has the region bracing for overnight retaliation. Could this be the start of a wider regional conflict?

In a dramatic overnight operation, Israeli warplanes struck six high-value Houthi targets across Yemen, including three strategic Red Sea ports, the Ras Kathib power plant, and the radar system aboard the seized Galaxy Leader cargo ship. The IDF claims the ship’s radar was used for maritime surveillance and missile coordination.
The strikes — completed in under an hour — mark one of Israel’s most significant escalations in the Red Sea conflict zone. Massive explosions were reported in Hodeidah, Ras Isa, and As-Salif as Israeli forces targeted what they say were key military supply routes and Iranian-linked infrastructure.
This comes amid rising tensions across the region and renewed Houthi missile launches toward Israeli territory. What does this mean for the wider Middle East conflict? Is a broader war looming in the Red Sea?

In a dramatic and unprecedented move, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved major airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen while flying to the United States aboard the “Wing of Zion” aircraft. According to the PM’s office, Netanyahu received critical operational updates and gave the final go-ahead for "Operation Black Flag" while en route to Washington for a high-stakes meeting with Donald Trump. The operation was launched in response to continuous missile attacks by the Iran-backed Houthis on Israel. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed that the strikes, involving 20 fighter jets, targeted key Houthi infrastructure, ports in Hudaydah, and the Galaxy Leader ship, which was seized by the Houthis in 2023. The coordinated attack is being described as a major blow to the Houthi rebels. The Houthis have responded swiftly and fiercely. While their media outlets confirmed the Israeli strikes, they retaliated by launching a massive wave of missiles towards Israel, triggering air defense systems across the country. In a claim that has created serious panic, RT News reported that at least one of the Houthi missiles successfully hit its target inside Israel.
This sudden escalation opens a dangerous new front in the Middle East, coming only weeks after a fragile ceasefire was established between Israel and Iran. With Israel now engaged in a direct, full-blown conflict with the Houthis in Yemen, the entire region is on high alert for what happens next.

Following the Israeli Air Force's (IAF) massive 'Operation Black Flag' air campaign across Yemen, a significant question has emerged: With global powers like Russia, China, and North Korea racing to deploy hypersonic missiles, why does Israel, a military powerhouse, continue to rely on conventional fighter jets? This report delves into the core of Israel's military doctrine to uncover the answer.
The analysis reveals that Israel's strategic decision is not a sign of weakness, but a calculated choice based on its unique geopolitical reality. The IAF's elite fleet, including advanced F-15, F-16, and F-35 fighter jets, offers unparalleled flexibility and precision for striking nearby threats in Gaza, Yemen, or Iran. Unlike hypersonic missiles, which are designed for targets thousands of kilometers away, jets allow for real-time target adjustments, significantly reducing collateral damage against groups like the Houthis. This adaptability was proven during the 2025 strikes on Iranian sites.

Just hours after launching the massive "Operation Black Flag" airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departs for Washington to meet with President Donald Trump.
In his statement before leaving, Netanyahu reaffirmed his mission: to crush Hamas, confront Iran and Hezbollah, bring all hostages home, and ensure Gaza will never again threaten Israel. This marks his third meeting with Trump since the 2024 elections — a critical moment for U.S.-Israel coordination as regional tensions boil over.
With fire raining on the Red Sea and new alliances forming, Netanyahu’s visit could reshape the Middle East — militarily and diplomatically.

In a major escalation of the Red Sea conflict, Israel has launched Operation ‘Black Flag,’ a powerful military campaign targeting key Houthi-controlled infrastructure in Yemen. Israeli warplanes struck ports, power stations, and the seized vessel ‘Galaxy Leader,’ accusing the Houthi forces of using civilian infrastructure to funnel Iranian weapons and coordinate regional attacks. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that Yemen would now be treated like Tehran, promising continued strikes against any threat to Israeli security. This marks one of Israel’s most aggressive operations beyond its borders in recent years.

Yemen’s Houthis have resumed deadly attacks on Red Sea shipping lanes, using armed men and drone boats in a major escalation. A vessel traveling near Hodeida was struck Sunday by two drone boats, while others were destroyed by onboard security. Over 100 ships have been targeted since 2023, disrupting the $1 trillion trade route. The U.S. is monitoring the situation. The Houthi-run Al-Masirah outlet acknowledged the attack, but no group has claimed responsibility. Tensions are rising as missile launches and maritime violence continue across the region.

An Israeli reservist who served three tours of duty in Gaza has told Sky News in a rare on-camera interview that his unit was often ordered to shoot anyone.. Sky News
In a significant escalation, Yemen's Houthi rebels have claimed a major missile strike against Israel's primary international gateway, Ben Gurion Airport. Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree announced that a newly unveiled missile, named "Palestine-2," was launched towards Tel Aviv, alleging it successfully halted all air traffic and caused widespread panic. The group, officially known as Ansarallah, declared the attack was an act of solidarity with the Palestinian people and the armed resistance in Gaza, vowing that such strikes will persist until Israel's military offensive and blockade on the territory come to an end.
However, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have presented a conflicting account. According to Israeli military sources, the incoming missile was successfully tracked and intercepted by its advanced air defense systems. While air raid sirens were activated in several regions across Israel as a precautionary measure, the IDF maintains that the threat was neutralized before it could impact the airport's infrastructure or cause any casualties.
The incident has drawn a sharp response from Tel Aviv. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a stern warning to Yemen, threatening "dire consequences" similar to those faced by Tehran if the Houthi attacks continue. This latest strike is part of a sustained campaign by the Houthis, who have reportedly launched over 50 missiles and drones towards Israel since the conflict in Gaza intensified, repeatedly attempting to target critical Israeli infrastructure like Ben Gurion Airport.

In a dramatic escalation, Yemen’s Armed Forces have claimed responsibility for a massive drone and missile assault targeting key Israeli infrastructure, including Ben Gurion Airport, Ashdod Port, and the Eilat Port. Yemeni military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree confirmed the use of the indigenous ‘Palestine 2’ hypersonic missile and locally built UAVs in retaliation against Israeli strikes on Yemen and in solidarity with Gaza. The strike forced Israel to shut down its primary international airport, with sirens sounding across the Dead Sea area. The Yemeni Armed Forces declared their readiness for prolonged confrontation and reiterated a vow to continue strategic blockades and attacks until Israel halts its Gaza offensive. With over 57,000 Palestinians dead since October 2023, the operation underscores a widening regional war and a unified resistance front across West Asia. Israeli interceptors reportedly failed to stop the attacks, raising serious concerns about defense gaps.

srael’s Defense Minister Israel Katz has issued a chilling warning to Yemen’s Houthi rebels after a ballistic missile was intercepted by Israeli defenses late Tuesday. Katz declared, “Yemen will be treated like Tehran,” referencing recent joint Israeli-U.S. airstrikes on suspected nuclear sites in Iran. As air raid sirens rang out across central Israel and civilians scrambled for shelters, Katz warned: “Whoever raises a hand against Israel – that hand will be cut off.”
The intercepted missile, launched from Houthi-controlled Yemen, marks yet another escalation in the widening Middle East conflict. With Iran-backed militias in Lebanon, Iraq, and now Yemen intensifying attacks, analysts warn of a growing multi-front war. Will Israel carry out a preemptive strike on Yemen? Could U.S. bombers return to the skies?
