The Recent Attacks on Yemen Are Necessary but Not Sufficient

Yesterday, Israel launched a wave of airstrikes against the Houthi rebels in Yemen—destroying ports and other civilian infrastructure in the areas under their control with the aim of cutting off their weapons supplies. The Houthis appear to have increased their drone and missile attacks on Israel and, as IDF jets were already headed to Yemen, one such missile was already flying toward Israel; although it was intercepted, debris struck a school near Tel Aviv.
