Original Note:
The UK & US strikes were not against Yemeni civilians. They were against Houthi military targets and is therefore a proportionate response to Houthi aggression against commercial ships in the Red Sea. The UN Security Council passed a resolution condemning Houthi attacks. https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/01/1145382 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-67954799 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/12/yemen-houthi-rebels-who-are-they-what-attacking-us-uk-airstrikes-red-sea-crisis
