As part of the expanded US strikes on Yemen, and amid increased Houthi attacks on Israel, the Americans will reportedly hit more missile-related targets.

The latest round of strikes occurred as the United States and its ally Israel struggle to halt a campaign of regional assaults by Yemen’s Houthi militants.

Houthi forces hit Tel Aviv, Ben Gurion Airport, Nevatim Air Base and electricity station in Jerusalem, says group's leader - Anadolu Ajansı

Yemen's Houthi spokesperson Mohammed Abdulsalam said that the country would continue to defend itself after several U.S. strikes targeted facilities in the capital Sanaa on Tuesday. The U.S. military said that it carried out strikes against Houthi targets in Sanaa and coastal locations in Yemen on Monday and Tuesday.

"On Dec. 30 and 31, U.S. Navy ships and aircraft targeted a Houthi command and control facility and advanced conventional weapon (ACW) production and storage facilities that included missiles and uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAV)," the U.S. military's Central Command said in a post on X.

Israel’s devastating campaigns against Iran’s regional allies have severely weakened its arch-enemy’s ability to project its power, but Yemen’s Tehran-backed Houthi rebels remain a stubborn thorn in its side,

The targets struck by U.S. forces had been used to attack American warships and commercial vessels, officials said.
