"Escalating Tensions: US Conducts Multiple Strikes on Houthis in Yemen Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict"
The U.S. conducted airstrikes against Houthi missile sites in Yemen for the fifth time in a week, amid escalating tensions in the Middle East involving Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, and Pakistan. The Houthis, defying demands to cease attacks on shipping lanes, have portrayed their campaign as a battle to force Israel to end its Gaza campaign. Israel's president singled out Iran as the source of threats, while Pakistan retaliated with strikes inside Iran after Iranian forces attacked what they said were militant camps in Pakistan. In Gaza, a hospital has become a refuge for displaced people, and it's estimated that it will cost $15 billion to rebuild destroyed housing units. Additionally, a communications blackout in Gaza has left civilians unable to call for help and aid workers struggling to reach them.
