Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued decisive directives to destroy Houthi infrastructure, confirming in a Knesset speech that Israeli military operations in Yemen will escalate.

Netanyahu emphasized Israel's determination to continue destroying what he described as the Iranian axis of evil, pledging to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear capabilities, indicating expansion of military confrontation.

Notable military escalation emerged with Israeli army announcing interception of a Houthi drone before penetrating Israeli airspace, while Houthi militias announced targeting military facilities in Ashkelon and Tel Aviv.

Failure to intercept a Houthi missile that hit Tel Aviv Friday, resulting in 16 people suffering minor injuries, revealed gaps in Israeli defensive system.

Iran-backed Houthi militia attacks continue on Israeli territory and Red Sea navigation since Gaza war outbreak in October 2023, threatening to expand regional conflict.

U.S. forces conducted precise strikes Saturday on Houthi missile depots and command center near Sanaa, as part of coordinated response with Israel and allies to increasing Houthi threats.

These developments come amid growing fears of military confrontation turning into comprehensive regional conflict, especially with escalating confrontation between Israel and Iranian axis.
