Yemen’s Houthis Say They Launched Second Attack on Israel in Less Than 24 Hours

CAIRO, March 28 (Reuters) – ⁠Yemen’s ⁠Iran-aligned ⁠Houthis said they carried ​out a second attack ‌on Israel in ‌less than ⁠24 ⁠hours using missiles and drones, and ​vowed to continue military operations in the ​coming days, the group’s ⁠military spokesperson ⁠Yahya Saree ⁠said in ​a televised speech.

The Houthis’ entry ​into ⁠the conflict adds to regional tensions, particularly given ⁠their ability to strike targets far beyond ⁠Yemen and disrupt shipping lanes around the Arabian Peninsula and the Red Sea, as they did in support of Hamas ⁠in Gaza following the October 7, 2023, attacks.
