The deterioration of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has spread to Allah in southern Lebanon, and now the Houthis are also launching attacks against Israel. A spokesman for the Houthis said that any ship sailing towards Israel through the Red Sea could be targeted, and that the Houthis would not stop as long as Israel did not stop its offensive. Recently, the Houthis managed to hit a Norwegian merchant ship and "claimed" the attack themselves.
As the "world's policeman", the United States has a Fifth Fleet in the Middle East, and after the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the United States increased its military presence in the region and opened a naval base in Bahrain. US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said he would take action against the Houthis. At present, warships of various countries have been assembled in the Red Sea and nearby waters, and the situation is tense.
The Houthis have attacked merchant ships continuously with drones and missiles, affecting international routes. The Houthis recently carried out "cross-border drone strikes" on southern Israeli cities and warned that they would continue to fight back.
The United States successfully shot down 14 Houthi drones, but the cost of Houthi drones is low, and the anti-aircraft missiles used by the U.S. military are expensive, resulting in a waste of resources for the U.S. military. In addition, the move weakened the US military's deterrence and strategic influence in the region, and showed Iran its "weight".
Egyptian air defenses shot down a Houthi drone over the Red Sea, suggesting that Egypt's attitude towards the Houthis is unclear, and some people question why Egypt attacked the Houthis, but at the same time Egypt is wary of Houthi drones.
The Houthis launched a number of missiles against cities in southern Israel, causing some loss of life and property. Israel responded harshly and launched retaliatory air strikes. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict has further escalated.
In the face of the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the international community has called on all parties to exercise restraint and seek a peaceful settlement of the dispute through peaceful negotiations. Many countries and regions have called for a ceasefire to avert greater conflict and humanitarian catastrophe.
The UN Security Council convened an emergency meeting to discuss measures to deal with the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Representatives expressed concern about the current situation and called on all parties to abide by international law and humanitarian principles and to achieve a ceasefire and a political settlement as soon as possible.
In the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, both sides have paid a high price. Israeli airstrikes against Palestine have caused a large number of civilian** and property damage, while Houthi attacks have also taken a toll on Israel. Both sides face the threat of ongoing conflict and violence, and the situation is dire.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has escalated further, with the Houthis launching attacks on Israel and retaliating with Israel. The United States has increased its troops in the Middle East, and the Navy has gathered in the Red Sea to prepare for action against the Houthis. The international community calls on all parties to exercise restraint and seek a peaceful solution. Both Palestine and Israel have suffered heavy losses, and the situation is tense.
