May 4, 2025 – Israel is considering adjusting its military approach toward the Houthi group in Yemen following a surge in attacks targeting Israeli territory, according to security reports.

This potential shift comes after a Houthi missile landed near Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, an incident Israeli officials view as an unprecedented escalation in their conflict with the Iran-backed group.

Previously, Israel had refrained from launching direct strikes inside Yemen based on recommendations from the United States, relying instead on American airstrikes targeting Houthi positions. However, recent developments have prompted Israeli security and defense leaders to reassess their strategy, with calls for more decisive action.

Intelligence sources indicate that Tel Aviv may strengthen its cooperation with Washington in executing strategic strikes against the Houthis, focusing on sites used to target Israel and the broader region.

With these new developments, Israel faces a choice between military escalation or continuing to depend on U.S. operations in Yemen, as analysts await official decisions in the coming days.
