Houthis Fire Another Missile Barrage At Israel, Pledge Further Escalation
Sana’a, Yemen: The Yemeni group, the Houthis, have reportedly fired another missile barrage at Israel, aligning themselves with the Islamic Republic of Iran and Hezbollah in the ongoing West Asian conflict, which started in February after the US and Israel launched an unprovoked war against Iran.
One of Iran’s proxies in the region, the Houthis, claimed that they fired ballistic missiles targeting sensitive areas in southern Israel.

This is the third attack by Houthis since Israel and US began attacking Iran. The group had remained silent for around a month to joint the ongoing conflict in West Asia. Israeli media said the missile was intercepted, and there were no reports of any casualties or damage.
In a video statement, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said that the group carried out the third military operation, targeting sensitive Israeli enemy targets with a barrage of ballistic missiles, adding that the operation was conducted jointly with our mujahideen brothers in Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Houthis sent the first missile in the current conflict over the weekend, opening another front. Notably, like the Strait of Hormuz, Houthis could potentially disrupt shipping through the Red Sea, as they did at the height of Israel’s war on Gaza, exacerbating the oil crisis in the world.
