US-Yemen Airstrikes / President Trump 2.0's military action, rapid attacks on Yemen - 25 killed

US-Yemen Airstrikes: After the warning of US President Donald Trump, the US has started airstrikes on Yemen's Houthi rebels. Trump had clearly said that if the attacks on ships in the Red Sea continue, there will be 'rain of hell'. At least 25 people have died and dozens have been injured in these attacks.

Background of the attacks

The Houthis recently threatened to resume attacks on ships belonging to Israel in the Red Sea. The threat came after Israel banned humanitarian aid in Gaza, leaving about 2 million people facing starvation. The Houthis said that if this ban was not lifted, they would resume attacks in the Red Sea. In response to this, President Trump ordered airstrikes in Yemen.

Increasing tension in the Red Sea

This is not the first time the Houthis have taken such aggressive action. In December, the Houthis attacked in the Red Sea, but they stopped the attacks after a ceasefire in Gaza. Now, when Israel has stopped aid in Gaza, the Houthis threatened to start attacks again.

US strategy and possible long-term campaign

According to the White House press release, the air strikes are aimed at stopping Houthi attacks and this campaign can be long-lasting. The press release also mentioned that 25,000 ships used to pass through the Red Sea annually, but now this number has come down to 10,000. This is a clear indication that the security crisis in the Red Sea is deepening.

In addition, US commercial ships have been attacked 145 times since 2023, the last of which was in December, when Trump was not yet sworn in. Given this situation, this action of America may continue further.

Israel's military action continues in Gaza

Despite the ceasefire, Israel's military action continues in Gaza. At least nine people, including relief workers and journalists, were killed in recent attacks in Beit Lahiya. Hamas has called it a violation of the ceasefire, while the Israeli army has indicated that they may take limited military action in Gaza to pressure Hamas for a hostage release deal.

Conclusion

The growing tension between the US and the Houthis is becoming a new challenge not only for Yemen but the entire Middle East. The ongoing military action and humanitarian crisis between Israel and Gaza have made the situation more complicated. More military action is likely to take place in the region in the coming time, which can have a profound impact on global trade and security.
