US military and partners attack Houthi positions in Yemen. First extensive air strikes in Iraq and Syria.

Now another military action against Houthi targets in Yemen: The USA and its partners are applying pressure against pro-Iranian militias in the Middle East. The Houthis have repeatedly targeted merchant ships on the Red Sea since the Gaza war between Israel and the Islamist terrorist organization Hamas began in October. The militia is acting in solidarity with Hamas and is targeting freighters with alleged Israeli connections off the Yemeni coast.
