From ports to power stations, Israel responds to Houthis by attacking civilian life

For over a year, Israel has repeatedly struck vital civilian infrastructure in northern Yemen, including ports, power stations, and factories, in response to Houthi missile and drone attacks. Analysts suggest these strikes reflect a strategy of collective punishment and a potential intelligence failure, as they have not confirmed killing any Houthi leaders. The attacks worsen the humanitarian crisis in a country already suffering from a long civil war. The Houthis reportedly use the Israeli strikes in their propaganda to recruit more fighters for a prolonged conflict.
