War with Houthis escalates after missile attack on Tel Aviv

“Jerusalem Minute” with Middle East correspondent Josh Hasten, Ep. 49

In the latest attack from Yemen, a Houthi missile landed in the Tel Aviv area, wounding 16 people. This happened only days after the Israel Defense Forces struck terrorist enclaves in Yemen in response to a missile that landed directly on a school in Ramat Gan.

What’s next, and what do the U.S.-led strikes on the Houthis mean?

JNS CEO and Jerusalem bureau chief Alex Traiman, and Middle East correspondent Josh Hasten unpack this story and more, including Turkey’s incursion into Syria; the concerns of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about being arrested if he travels to Poland; and the ongoing hostage negotiations with Hamas in Gaza.
