New attack on Israel: rocket from Yemen ensures alarm in Tel Aviv!

Israel is once again faced with a rocket attack from Yemen, just a few days before the entry into force of an agreed ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, which is according to media reports for six weeks. The Proiran Huthi-Miliz has again attacked Israel's borders and thus announces its support for Hamas, which is known to have been fighting the Israeli army since its terrorist attack in October 2023 and the subsequent Gaza war. According to information from Radio Ennepe-Ruhr was intercepted by Tel Aviv and other parts of Israel, which is used for an alarm state led in which the population was looking for protection.

So far, no reports on injured or damage to property have been reported. These attacks by the Huthi militia are not new; The Militian Israel has been attacking for months and has been confirming several times that it is located alongside Hamas. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reacted to a similar attack in September, in which a ballistic rocket was fired on Israel. The floor was also intercepted at the time, but parts hit modiin and on open terrain, which led to a fire.

geopolitical context of the attacks

The Huthi militia has established itself in the current argument as a serious player in the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The attack in September 2024 was the first time that Huthi rockets entered the Israeli airspace. In July 2024 there was a serious incident when a Huthi drone reached Tel Aviv and resulted in the death of a man and injuries to several people. As a result, Israel reacted with a massive air raid to military destinations in Yemen. In view of this tense situation, it remains to be seen how the security situation in the region will develop.

The Arms rest is under a tense star. Negotiations between the United States, Egypt and Qatar aim to achieve an agreement that not only includes the ceasefire, but also enables the release of over 700 detained Palestinians against 33 Israeli hostages. However, trust between the parties is brittle, and there are significant doubts that this agreement can solve the tension prevailing in the region in the long term.

The situation in Gaza

The current situation is also intensified by the intensifying humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. Civilians and hostages remain the greatest losers of the ongoing conflict. Although Hamas has lost some of its leaders and control over Gaza, it continues to hold up resistance to Israel. In his part, Israel has announced that it could resume the fight if Hamas is not willing to find a permanent solution that guarantees an end to violence.

Society in Israel is deeply divided and bears the scars of the massacre, which Hamas started in October 2023 when over 250 hostages were taken. Prime Minister Netanyahu is under considerable pressure in view of these circumstances and is accused of having abandoned the remaining hostages. In the meantime, the international reputation of Israel remains strongly attacked in the Gaza Strip due to the violence and the associated humanitarian catastrophe.
