The recent airstrikes on Hodeidah, Yemen, have raised concerns about Israel’s involvement in the conflict.
Here’s what we know so far:
- On August 24, 2021, airstrikes hit the port city of Hodeidah, killing at least 26 civilians and injuring dozens more.
- The airstrikes were initially attributed to the Saudi-led coalition, which has been fighting against the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels since 2015.
- However, several analysts have suggested that Israel may have been involved in the attacks, either directly or indirectly.
Evidence of Israeli involvement
There are several pieces of evidence that suggest Israel may have been involved in the Hodeidah airstrikes:
- The airstrikes were carried out with laser-guided bombs, which are a type of weapon that Israel is known to possess.
- The airstrikes targeted Hodeidah’s port, which is a key supply route for the Houthi rebels.
- Israel has a history of airstrikes against Iranian targets in Syria.
Motives for Israeli involvement
There are several possible motives for why Israel may have been involved in the Hodeidah airstrikes:
- Israel may be concerned about the growing influence of Iran in Yemen.
- Israel may be trying to send a message to the Houthis that it will not tolerate attacks against Israeli targets.
- Israel may be trying to weaken the Houthi rebels and make them more vulnerable to attack by the Saudi-led coalition.
Conclusion
The airstrikes on Hodeidah have raised concerns about Israel’s involvement in the Yemen conflict. While there is no conclusive evidence that Israel was involved, the evidence that is available suggests that it is a possibility. Further investigation is needed to determine the full extent of Israel’s involvement.
