Egypt is allegedly seeking to consolidate its strategic interests amid Houthi maritime attacks, which have significantly affected the Egyptian economy.
While Israel's strike on Hodeidah briefly restored deterrence, recent Houthi missile and drone attacks in the Red Sea reveal the threat is far from over.
The attack marks the latest in a series of strikes by the Iranian-backed Houthis that have disrupted the flow of $1 trillion in goods passing through the Red Sea annually.
CENTCOM was recently involved in the killing of Hurras al-Din senior leader Abu-’Abd al-Rahman al-Makki in the last week of August.
In response to Hezbollah's recent rocket attack, Yemen's Houthi group expressed their solidarity and pledged their support.
