Israeli Defense Minister Orders Military to Draft Operational Plan Against Houthis in Yemen
ِAden - Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has reportedly instructed the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to prepare a comprehensive military plan to counter potential threats from Houthi forces in Yemen, according to Israeli media sources.
The directive comes in response to recent Houthi declarations of full support for Iran and threats to target U.S. and Israeli vessels in the Red Sea, following a wave of strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Gallant emphasized the need for proactive defense measures, citing the Houthis' growing missile and drone capabilities and their alignment with Iran's regional agenda.
The plan may include preemptive strikes, naval operations, and intelligence coordination with international partners to neutralize Houthi threats to maritime security and Israeli interests in the region.
While no official details of the plan have been released, the move signals a strategic shift in Israel's defense posture, expanding its focus beyond traditional fronts to include non-state actors operating from distant theaters like Yemen.
