War reignited across the Middle East as the United States launched a new campaign against the Houthis in Yemen and Israel resumed its war on the Gaza Strip.
The escalation began from Yemen. Dozens of strikes hit Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen on March 15 and 16 on orders from the U.S. President Donald Trump, who said that the large-scale attack was a response to the group’s attacks on shipping.
The strikes killed 53 people and left a hundred others wounded. Washington said that “multiple” leaders of the Houthis were killed. Meanwhile, the Houthi health ministry claimed women and children were among the casualties.
The Houthis hit back, attacking the aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman and its strike group at least four times between March 15 and 19. In addition, the group launched a ballistic missile at Israel on March 18. The missile was, however, intercepted by Israeli air defenses.
The U.S. move against the Houthis apparently emboldened Israel, which restarted its war on Gaza on March 18.
Dozens of Israeli strikes hit all of the Strip as a part of Operation Strength and Sword. The Israeli Defense Forces said that the operation was launched upon orders from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who cited Hamas “repeated refusal” to release Israeli hostages.
On March 19, the death toll from the strikes exceeded 400. Many senior officials from Hamas and other Palestinian armed factions were among the dead, including the military spokesman of the Islamic Jihad, Naji Abu Saif, also known as Abu Hamza.
In addition to the escalation against Gaza, the IDF launched dozens of strikes against both Syria and Lebanon between March 17 and 19.
In Syria, military bases in the southern region were hit, with at least four being killed in the province of Daraa. Meanwhile, the strikes on Lebanon hit Hezbollah targets in the Beqaa Valley in the south.
Overall, the Middle East appears to be on a course towards a full-on confrontation, especially with increasing threats from both the U.S. and Israel to Iran, the main sponsor of so-called resistance groups in the region.

full on confrontational war?! with who?! hezbollah is depleted and defeated and can’t really rearm itself, hamas is in very tight spot, houthis can’t do nothing other than shoot ballistic missiles and iran is defenseless
only stupid amerikunt believes iran is defenseless
and there’s no shortage of stoopid anerikunts.
i loved how our media did not say that isreal broke the ceasefire but ended it. our media allways know how to make people feel better about whatever isreal is doing.
after 80 years of the u.$. and i$rael have done to the me. making the american taxpayer “feel better” to the systematic genocide of an entire region is an impossible -that is if you carry a soul!
yanks and jews don’t really have ‘souls’, but they do have two assholes. one in the rear and the other between the chin and their noses.
