The U.S. military early Saturday struck another Houthi-controlled site in Yemen that it had determined was putting commercial vessels in the Red Sea at risk, two U.S. officials said, a day after the U.S. and Britain launched multiple airstrikes targeting Houthi rebels.
The houthis aren’t formally or de facto at war with Israel either, though you’re right that they are involved.
But affected 3rd party countries are equally within their rights to protect critical trade infrastructure in international waters as well.
I guess the missiles and drones launched at Israel were just part of a special military operation then, my bad.
