"The Houthis released a statement saying the group carried out its 'first military operation' in support of Iran, using 'a barrage' of ballistic missiles to target Israeli military sites."
"For the first month of the conflict, Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi militants largely stayed out of it. Their action to join in is significant as it appears to add another front to the war."
"The militant group, designated a terrorist organization by the United States, said its 'naval blockade' was carried out in solidarity with the Palestinian people and against Israel."
The Iran-backed Houthi group in Yemen launched missile attacks against Israel, marking their first military operation in the ongoing U.S.-Israeli conflict. The Israel Defense Forces intercepted the missile aimed at Israeli territory. The Houthis stated their operation would continue until military objectives were met. Their involvement adds a new front to the conflict, raising concerns about further disruptions to shipping and escalating tensions in the region. The group has previously targeted commercial shipping in the Red Sea, claiming solidarity with the Palestinian people against Israel.
