The US and UK have begun carrying out strikes on Yemen in the early hours of Friday local time.
The action comes after Washington and London vowed to retaliate against attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
The Houthis have pledged support for Gaza during the ongoing fighting between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas. They have been launching drones and missiles at merchant vessels, as well as warships patrolling the vital waterway.
The Houthis are a Shia Islamist militia that rose to power on the heels of the wave of protests known as the Arab Spring, which swept the Middle East in the early 2010s.
One of the poorest countries in the region, Yemen has been plagued by an intermittent civil war for nearly a decade. It was further devastated by a Saudi-led intervention, which began in 2015 with the aim of expelling the Houthis.

Zojuist hebben de Verenigde Staten en het Verenigd Koninkrijk precisieaanvallen uitgevoerd tegen doelen in de door de Houthi’s gecontroleerde gebieden in Jemen. Het doel van deze precisieaanvallen is het uitschakelen van onder meer lanceerplatforms en raketinstallaties waarmee Houthi-rebellen gewapende aanvallen in de Rode Zee en de westelijke Golf van Aden uitvoeren tegen de koopvaardij en marineschepen. De aanvallen van de Houthi’s zijn een duidelijke schending van het internationaal recht en vormen een bedreiging voor maritiem personeel en handelsstromen. Het Amerikaans-Britse optreden is gebaseerd op het recht op zelfverdediging, heeft als doel het beschermen van de vrije doorvaart en richt zich op de-escalatie. Nederland als van oudsher zeevarend land hecht enorm aan het recht op vrije doorvaart en steunt deze gerichte operatie.

US MADE A BIG MISTAKE BOMBING YEMENIf you think the new war in Yemen is going to be restricted to Yemen, think again.
It's now open season for US and British military bases in the region. The Yemenis are fearless and have nothing to lose.
They will easily set the entire region on fire. Do not underestimate their strike capacity far outside Yemen either, or their deeply embedded alliances with other groups.
We have just heard reports of new attacks on US bases by Iraqi militias.
Everyone knows that the major regional war will break out this year. It looks like it might now be entering the point of no return.
All the defenders of justice, soldiers of righteousness and keepers of honor are Yemeni today.
All the noble among mankind are with Yemen and the fate of all humanity is Yemeni.
We see a people wage a war for no other reason than the defense of human dignity, without any profit motive whatsoever.
History will remember heroic Yemen, who did what the other Arab leaders were too corrupt and cowardly to do, for all eternity.

Amerikanen en Britten voeren met Nederlandse steun luchtaanvallen uit in Jemen
De Verenigde Staten en het Verenigd Koninkrijk zijn in de nacht van donderdag op vrijdag begonnen met luchtaanvallen op Houthi-rebellen in Jemen. Nederland heeft "niet-operationele militaire" steun verleend aan de actie. Ook Australië, Bahrein en Canada hielpen mee.

Israel has been shooting fishing boats from Gaza every day for almost 20 years to destroy its fishing industry and keep it economically de-developed. Now that the Houthis are giving Israel a taste of its own medicine, the U.S. invokes “freedom of navigation” to attack Yemen. Another day in Biden’s “rules-based order.”
