Israel has called on Washington to resume its strikes on Houthis after the militant group resumed its attacks on shipping. The request comes more than two months after US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire deal with the militant group, the culmination of a campaign of air and naval strikes against targets in Yemen.

Israel has carried out its first strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen since the Israel-Iran ceasefire, attacking ports and a power plant around midnight local time Sunday night into Monday morning.

Houthi rebels in Yemen attempted to strike Israel’s Ben Gurion airport after sinking two vessels in the Red Sea this week, as the group ramps up its military pressure in support of Palestinians under Israeli fire in its bid to bring the war in Gaza to an end.
