Yemen's Houthis target Israel with ballistic missiles in coordination with Iran

The Houthis in Yemen stated on Sunday that they carried out an attack on Israel in partnership with Iran, marking the first instance of a group aligned with Iran publicly declaring collaborative efforts on strikes with Tehran.

Yehya Sarea, the military spokesperson, announced on television that the Yemeni faction launched multiple ballistic missiles targeting Jaffa in central Israel within the past day.

Sarea emphasized, “In solidarity with the Palestinian and Iranian populations who are suffering injustice…This mission was synchronized with the military actions undertaken by the Iranian armed forces against the hostile Israeli regime.”

The Israeli military earlier said sirens were activated in several areas in the country following missile launches from Iran and Yemen.

Israel and Iran continued to exchange missile attacks since Israel launched its biggest-ever military strike against its longstanding enemy on Friday.

On the same day Israel launched its attack on Iran, Israel said a missile that was launched from Yemen towards Israel fell in Hebron in the occupied West Bank.

The Yemeni group however did not claim responsibility for the missile launch.

The Houthis have been launching attacks against Israel, most of which have been intercepted, in what they say is support for Palestinians in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas war there since Hamas’s October 7 2023 attack on Israel.

Israel has carried out a series of retaliatory strikes.

The US also launched intensified strikes against the Houthis this year, before President Donald Trump halted the offensive after the Houthis agreed to stop attacks on American ships.
