"The now monthlong war erupted after the United States and Israel attacked Iran, which retaliated with strikes against Israel and neighboring Gulf Arab states."
"Houthi Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree said on the rebels' Al-Masirah satellite television station Saturday that the Houthis launched a barrage of ballistic missiles toward what he described as 'sensitive Israeli military sites' in southern Israel."
"The attack came hours after Saree signaled in a vague statement Friday that the rebels would join the war."
"Saturday's assault calls into question whether the Houthis will target commercial shipping in the Red Sea corridor, as they did during the Israel-Hamas war."
Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for a missile launch toward Israel, intercepted by the Israeli military. The ongoing conflict began after U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran, leading to Iranian retaliation against Israel and Gulf states. The war has disrupted global air travel and oil exports, causing fuel prices to rise. Israel conducted airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, while Iran retaliated by targeting a base in Saudi Arabia. Houthi involvement raises concerns about potential attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea corridor.
