**Summary:**

In recent days, missile strikes in the Middle East have targeted Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Pakistan, as well as Gaza and Israel. This increase in military activity threatens a wider conflict in the region. Still, the center of the widening conflict remains the Houthi attacks on shipping and the U.S. and U.K. response against Yemen.
