Israel, having previously targeted Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iranian officials, is now reportedly focused on neutralizing the threat posed by Yemen’s Houthi rebels. The Israeli strategy includes targeting key Houthi leaders.
Israeli media sources have revealed a failed assassination attempt targeting Major General Mohammad Abdul Karim al-Ghamari, the Chief of Staff of the Houthi army. This attempt mirrors previous operations against high-ranking figures in Hamas, Iran, and Hezbollah.
In response to continued missile attacks from Yemen, Israel is considering military action, according to reports. The Israeli military and intelligence agencies are reportedly preparing to target key Houthi locations and leaders. On August 22, a ballistic missile was intercepted by the Arrow 3 defense system, after being launched from Yemen and targeting central Israel, prompting air raid sirens in Tel Aviv and nearby areas.
