Israeli airstrikes target Yemen’s Houthis day after deadly drone attack in Tel Aviv | CNN
“A short while ago, IDF fighter jets struck military targets of the Houthi terrorist regime in the area of the Al Hudaydah (Hodeidah) Port in Yemen in response to the hundreds of attacks carried out against the state of Israel in recent months,” the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said in a statement.
The strikes on Hodeidah came a day after a drone attack in Tel Aviv killed one man and injured at least 10 others.

The Houthis use child soldiers. Thousands have been killed on the battlefield. Praising them just because they are fighting Israel will not be tolerated any more than we would tolerate someone praising the Lord's Resistance Army.

They did almost literally ask for it.
The Houthi militants love their ironic strikes. As soon as Israel claims the matter is resolved, they'll send another strike. Israel just stepped into something they probably didn't want to.
Edit: sorry y'all, I didn't know we weren't allowed to make an analysis based on the historical actions of terrorists.
Can't be mad when you say stupid things and people dislike it.
Please explain how it's stupid. Ansar Allah regularly fires retaliatory strikes after a Western power says the issue with them is handled. The Houthis are also an extremely resilient militant group. The US has been trading blows in this manner with the Houthis since their founding.
