The U.S. has reportedly told Israel not to respond to strikes from Yemen’s rebel Houthis, saying the American military has greater capacity to hit back.

The sources added that while the IAF strikes were carried out successfully in the past, the U.S. believes it has greater capacity to conduct sustained attacks using aircraft stationed on its aircraft carriers.

Yemen's Houthi rebels fired ballistic missiles at Israel on Thursday, aiming for Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv and Jerusalem areas the Iran-backed group's military spokesperson said. No injuries were reported and the IDF said the missile was stopped before entering Israel.

The United States began striking Houthi targets in Yemen on Saturday evening in a message to Iran, a U.S. official told The Jerusalem Post at the time.

Despite the U.S.'s actions, the Houthis said they will not "dial down" their action against Israeli shipping in the Red Sea in response to U.S. military pressure or appeals from the group's allies such as Iran.

Jamal Amer spoke to Reuters late on Monday after the U.S. launched a wave of strikes in areas of Yemen controlled by the Iran-aligned Houthis, who said last week they were resuming attacks on Red Sea shipping to support Palestinians in Gaza.

Two senior Iranian officials told Reuters that Iran had delivered a verbal message to the Houthi envoy in Tehran on Friday to cool tensions and that Iran's foreign minister asked Oman, which has mediated with the Houthis, to convey a similar message to the group when he visited Muscat on Sunday.
Both officials asked not to be named.
