Escalating Tensions: Israel's Stern Warning to Houthi Militants

Israel's ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, issued a final warning to Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi militants, urging them to stop missile attacks on Israel. The Israeli military later intercepted a missile, prompting further tension. The UN expressed concern about the escalating violence's potential impact on regional stability.

In a significant escalation, Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, delivered a stern ultimatum to Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi militants on Monday. He cautioned them against continuing missile assaults on Israel, warning they faced the 'miserable fate' of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Assad regime if they persisted.

Tensions rose when the Israeli military intercepted a missile from Yemen, triggering widespread alarms. The Houthis targeted key Israeli infrastructures, including Ben Gurion Airport and a power station, with advanced ballistic missiles, according to their spokesperson Yahya Saree.

Despite international concerns about the regional impact, the Houthis, led by Mohamed Ali al-Houthi, vowed ongoing assaults as acts of solidarity with Palestinians. The UN urged restraint, highlighting the potential for further destabilization and humanitarian crises.
