Yemen-based Houthis — the last of Iran-backed groups still fully present in the regional war that began 14 months ago — are slowly escalating attacks on Israel with an eye to avoid full-out retaliation.

Israel's wars in the Middle East are unlikely to end in 2025 or for that matter any time in the foreseeable future. The immediate reason for that is that Benjamin Netanyahu needs to prolong the ghastly war in Gaza to avoid standing trial at home on corruption charges which carry a prison sentence.

Israeli officials are in disagreement over how to handle the threat posed by the Iran-backed militia in Yemen following most recent escalation

Israel has vowed to begin targeting leaders of the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen — a major escalation after the terror group claimed responsibility for a spate of missile and drone attacks.

The question is invited by the view that the regime in Tehran is suddenly looking ‘vulnerable.’

The Assad regime’s collapse in Syria means the entire Iranian axis has been disrupted, and ‘as we learned today, it even stopped the Iraqi militias,’

Iran’s new president, Masoud Pezeshkian, and U.S. President-elect Donald Trump have voiced a willingness to negotiate a new nuclear deal.

Israel assassinated Hamas' top leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran last summer, Defence Minister Israel Katz confirmed. The comments by Katz appeared to mark the first time that Israel has acknowledged killing Haniyeh, who died in an explosion in Tehran in July.

Israel has paved the way for a decisive strike against Iran’s nuclear programme by eliminating swathes of Syria’s military infrastructure, according to officials speaking to The Telegraph following the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime.

Israeli media has reported that the IDF has carried out against Houthis in response to the rebels' recent ballistic missile and drone attacks on Israel.

Houthi rebels in Yemen say Israeli airstrikes on Thursday targeted the rebel-held capital of Sanaa and the port city of Hodeida. The Israeli military said it attacked infrastructure used by the Houthis at the international airport in Sanaa,
