US said to tell Israel it plans to increase strikes on Houthis

The US plans to increase its strikes in Yemen, American officials tell their Israeli counterparts, per a report by the Kan Public Broadcaster.

The attacks are expected to be aimed at the Iran-backed Houthi rebels rocket facilities.

A source tells Kan that outgoing US President Joe Biden has given the US military “broad” authorization for the strikes.

The report says the US stressed to Israel that Israeli strikes must remain solely against military targets to prevent harm to civilians.
