In the long shadow of Gaza, the skies over Sanaa were torn open on Sunday as Israeli warplanes struck Yemen's capital in retaliation for Houthi missile fire, killing six and wounding 86. What began as a distant war has drawn Yemen into its orbit, with the Iran-aligned Houthis casting their attacks on Israel and Red Sea shipping as acts of solidarity with Palestinians. The exchange is not an aberration but a rhythm — a cycle of strike and counterstrike that has now run for more than a year, with no horizon of resolution in sight.

Houthis leveraging Iranian-supplied advanced missiles to challenge Israeli military dominance; Israel extending operational reach into Yemen to degrade Houthi capabilities; regional proxy conflict intensifying as Gaza war persists, drawing non-state actors into direct confrontation with state military forces.
Similar to 2015-2022 Saudi-led coalition operations in Yemen, but with direct Israeli involvement replacing regional proxy dynamics; echoes Cold War-era proxy conflicts where superpowers' regional allies engaged in sustained tit-for-tat exchanges.
