Egypt mobilizes rafales and F-16s for imminent strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen

Egypt is escalating its involvement in the Yemen conflict, preparing for intensified air operations against the Houthi rebels amid growing concerns over the security of international maritime routes. This marks a significant shift as Egypt moves to safeguard maritime corridors critical to international commerce. According to Israeli sources monitoring the developments in the region, there is mounting pressure on Egypt to take a more active role in halting the Houthi attacks, which threaten not only neighboring countries but also global trade.
