The IDF assesses that Israel will launch a military operation in one of the theaters in the Middle East in the coming days. The assessment is based on broad and general intelligence reports that lead to working assumptions in each of the possible theaters: Bab el-Mandeb, Gaza, Judea and Samaria, Syria, and southern Lebanon. The article notes that yesterday, the Saudis and the Yemeni government launched an offensive to liberate the Bab el-Mandeb straits, which were captured by the Houthis about two weeks ago. The Houthis have been targeting merchant ships in the straits area, using precision munitions and drones, and tracking vessel movements using publicly available maps. Israeli military officials say the Houthis have found a way to attack ships and can carry out remote fire from several provinces in Yemen.
