Yemen's Houthis fire first missile at Israel, joining Iran conflict
Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis have fired their first missile at Israel, marking a significant escalation in the regional conflict. The attack was carried out in support of Iran and the resistance fronts in Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine.
Yemen's Houthis have joined the US-Israeli war against Iran. They fired a volley of ballistic missiles towards southern Israel, marking a significant escalation in the regional conflict. The Houthis control the Yemeni capital Sana'a and most of northern Yemen. The Israeli military confirmed it had detected a missile launch from Yemen and intercepted the missile before reaching the southern city of Eilat. The strike followed hours after the Houthis had publicly threatened to join the war. The Houthis' entry into the conflict comes alongside continued retaliatory attacks by other Iran-aligned groups.
