The Israeli military announced on Saturday that a missile fired from Yemen towards Israeli territory was most likely successfully intercepted. Is this just another shot in the dark or the start of a new conflict in the Middle East? Israel had previously threatened a naval and air blockade if attacks by pro-Iranian Houthi rebels continue. The Houthis, who control most of Yemen, claim they are attacking Israel in solidarity with Gaza, where war erupted in October. They launch missiles and drones towards Israel and attack ships in the Red Sea, seriously disrupting global trade. Israel successfully intercepts or destroys most missiles and drones before they reach their targets. Israel has responded with a series of airstrikes on Houthi positions. This situation sheds new light on the already tense regional situation and raises the question: how far will this conflict go before everything falls apart? If you think this is just another in a series of tensions, think again. This cat-and-mouse game could have far-reaching consequences for the entire world. What do you think — will Israel manage to stop these attacks, or are we headed for even greater chaos? Drop a comment, maybe together we can figure out what’s really going on!
