Mossad chief David Barnea believes Israel should target Iran to stop attacks from the Houthi rebels, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu disagrees. Barnea raised the option during discussions on the lack of results from previous strikes in Yemen. Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz prefer to continue strikes against the Houthis themselves. The Houthis have launched multiple ballistic missiles and drones at Israel in recent days. Israeli officials have discussed plans to escalate strikes with their US counterparts, and it is believed that attacks will intensify once US President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
