Yemen’s Houthi rebels enter Israel-Hamas war, fire barrage of Missiles, drones at Israel

Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen on October 31 officially entered the Israel-Hamas war. Houthi waded into the ongoing war and fired drones, missiles at southern city of Israel in the Red Sea. Houthis took responsibility after Israel’s military downed multiple “aerial targets“ in separate incidents around Red Sea. “Houthi will continue to launch attack against Israel until Israeli aggression ceases” said Houthi Military Spokesperson. This was the first time since Israel used its “Arrow” aerial defence system since the outbreak of war with Hamas. Meanwhile, the Israeli National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi said that the attacks against Israel were “intolerable“. On Oct 19, Pentagon said the US Navy intercepted 3 cruise missiles, drones launched by Houthis potentially toward Israel. Houthis are part of alliance of armed groups that encompasses Iranian-backed Shi’ite Muslim factions in Iraq, Lebanon’s Hezbollah group. #israelpalestineconflict #houthi #hamas #gaza
