Monday

The Houthis made the choice to attack Israel because they are a terrorist proxy of Iran.

They chose to attack and aren’t happy with the response. The Israelis allowed civilians to evacuate. The point of this type of campaign is to make the harboring of Rebels in the villages not worth the risk of the response.
