Why the Houthis Chose to Join the War Now
(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - There is likely a strategic military reason why the Houthis, at Iran's request, chose to join the fighting now and launch a missile toward Israel. Their apparent aim is to hinder the movement of U.S. aircraft carriers through the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Israel may be required to assist the U.S. in countering the Houthis and protecting the aircraft carriers. This could involve strikes against Houthi targets, opening an additional front that the Israeli military has already prepared for.
