Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis escalated regional tensions on March 28, 2026, by launching ballistic missiles at Israel—their first direct strikes in the ongoing Israel-Iran war—followed by a second attack the next day, prompting Israeli interceptions and vows of retaliation. This marks the Houthis' entry into the conflict, amid threats to blockade the Bab al-Mandeb Strait and disrupt Red Sea shipping, heightening risks of broader escalation. Israel has signaled military response while coordinating with U.S. forces, which have targeted Houthi leaders; no Israeli strikes on Yemen have occurred yet. Traders weigh imminent reprisals against diplomatic de-escalation efforts, with key watchpoints including IDF announcements, U.S. naval actions, and Houthi follow-on launches before the market's resolution window closes in three months.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Israel initiates a drone, missile, or air strike on Yemeni soil or any official Yemen embassy or consulate by the listed date, 11:59 PM Israeli local time. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
For the purposes of this market, a qualifying "strike" is defined as the use of aerial bombs, drones or missiles (including cruise or ballistic missiles) launched by Israeli military forces that impact Yemen ground territory or any official Yemen embassy or consulate (e.g., if a weapons depot on Yemen soil is hit by an Israeli missile, this market will resolve to "Yes").
Missiles or drones that are intercepted and surface-to-air missile strikes will not be sufficient for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether they land on Yemen territory or cause damage.
Actions such as artillery fire, small arms fire, FPV or ATGM strikes directly, ground incursions, naval shelling, cyberattacks, or other operations conducted by Israeli ground operatives will not qualify.
