The Missile Strike that changed Global Power Dynamics

Yemen’s attack on Israel, primarily carried out by the Houthi movement (Ansar Allah), marks a significant escalation in the expanding regional conflict tied to the Palestinian cause. Motivated by solidarity with Gaza and opposition to Zionist aggression, the Houthis have launched long-range ballistic missiles and drones targeting Israeli cities and strategic infrastructure, including the southern port city of Eilat and even areas near Tel Aviv. While the scale of the attacks varies, their symbolic and strategic impact is undeniable — opening a southern front against Israel and showcasing the Houthis’ growing military capability, allegedly backed by Iran. These actions not only demonstrate Yemen’s role within the “Axis of Resistance” but also reflect the broader geopolitical realignment across the Middle East, where resistance factions increasingly operate beyond national borders in a unified struggle against Western-backed occupation and oppression.
