This weekend has seen a major escalation, with more than 50 killed in lebanon, rockets fired into northern israel, and almost 2000 kilometres away in yemen, one of the countrys biggest ports and Power Stations, controlled by iranian backed houthis, targeted by israel. The Israeli Military said the strikes are in response to recent Missile Attacks from the group hamas. Translation we have no interest in expanding the war. We have no interest in looking for additionalfronts. But if somebody attacks israel, as the houthis have recently done with missiles, and throughout the war with Cruise Missiles and drones, anyone who carries out such an attack, we will settle the account with them, and we know how to do it. Israel isnt holding back, releasing videos of its Air Force taking off and showcasing its vast arsenal of missiles. The houthis, backed by iran, and fiercely opposed to israel, condemned the strikes as brutal aggression. With israels strikes continuing in lebanon and Military Operations in gaza still under way, the calls for De Escalation of the situation from the International Community Grow louder.
