Scotland’s leader, Humza Yousaf, wants the UK parliament to meet again to talk about air attacks in Yemen.
Rishi Sunak said it was important to bomb Houthi rebel sites in the UK and US because it was the right amount of force to keep ships safe in the Red Sea.
The military facilities were attacked during the night.
Humza Yousaf said there were important questions that needed to be asked and answered about military action.
He said on BBC Radio’s Good Morning Scotland show, “The SNP supports the UN security resolution, which is asking the Houthi rebels to stop their attacks in the Red Sea. Let’s not have any doubt about that. ”
“But the UK hasn’t done well with using military force in the Middle East. ”
“Before doing anything, the best thing to do would have been to bring back the parliament and get a thorough explanation about the military action. ”
He said: “There are big questions about what was done. ” What are we trying to achieve. What will count as a win.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the attacks on the Iranian-supported group were to protect UK ships from harm.
Houthi officials said the UK and US will face big consequences.
The US and its allies have launched the first attacks against the Houthi fighters, because they have been attacking ships in the Red Sea.
The Houthis are in charge of a big part of Yemen and they are helping Hamas by attacking ships going to Israel. The US Air Force said they hit more than 60 places where the Houthi rebels in Yemen were.
Mr Sunak said that the Houthi rebels are causing problems for UK and international ships and disrupting the trade route.
“The Houthis didn’t listen to the warnings from other countries and still attacked ships in the Red Sea, including ones from the UK and US,” said the prime minister.
This is not acceptable. The UK will always support the freedom for ships to move around and for trade to happen freely.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) announced that Royal Air Force typhoons did two accurate attacks on Houthi sites. One attack was on an airfield they used to launch drones and missiles over the Red Sea, and the other was on a site where they launched attack drones.
A Houthi leader said the US and UK will regret attacking Yemen.
The group says they will keep on attacking ships in the Red Sea that are going to or connected to Israel.
Meanwhile, Mr Yousaf’s wife, Nadia El-Nakla, said that her sister-in-law and her four children were able to leave Gaza.
Her brother works as a doctor at the Al-Nassar Hospital. He is still in the area with other family members.
Ms El-Nakla’s parents went back to Scotland in November after being stuck in Gaza for four weeks when the war with Israel started during their family visit.
She said: “I’m happy that my sister-in-law, Doaa, and their four kids have gotten out of Gaza and are safe now. ”
“But my brother Mohamed is still there with our 93-year-old grandma and many other family members. ”
Ms El Nakla, who works for Dundee government, said that the families in Gaza are still going through a tough time after losing completely innocent people.
She asked the UK government to create a program to help Palestinians move to the UK, like they did for Ukrainian families.
She said, “I will keep speaking out to stop the killing and suffering of the innocent people in Gaza, and ask for a ceasefire right away. ”
The UK government said it was working very hard to help people who want to leave Gaza.
Over 23,350 people, mostly women and children, have been killed, as reported by the health ministry run by Hamas.
During the first attacks by Hamas on Israel, around 1,300 people, mostly civilians, were killed and about 240 others were kidnapped.
