Following a ceasefire with Hezbollah, the Iran-backed Houthi rebels have emerged as a significant threat to Israel, launching near-daily rocket attacks from Yemen. These attacks force millions of Israelis into bomb shelters, causing property damage and putting lives at risk. Kan News reported last week that senior US officials informed their Israeli counterparts that, until the end of the Biden administration's term on January 20, the US will intensify its military strikes against the Houthis.
As part of this strategy, the US has made it clear it intends to target missile-related sites, as Yemen has been increasingly launching missiles toward Israel. A source close to the situation told Kan 11 News that President Joe Biden has authorized the US military to conduct these operations.
Meanwhile, the US administration has asked Israel to carefully assess its targets in Yemen, ensuring that only military sites are being targeted in the fight against the Houthi rebels, and civilian sites are avoided.
