Yemen’s Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for a second round of attacks on Israeli territory. According to Yahya Sari, spokesperson for the group’s military wing, the strikes targeted southern Israel on Saturday using cruise missiles and drones. He said several key military installations were hit during the operation.

The Israeli military confirmed detecting a missile launched from Yemen toward its territory and stated that air defense systems were active in response. This marks the first official acknowledgment of an attack from Yemen since the conflict involving Iran, the United States, and Israel entered its second month. The Houthis later said they had fired ballistic missiles at Israeli military sites in the occupied West Bank, describing the action as retaliation for Israeli strikes in Lebanon, Iran, and Palestine.

Sari warned that if other parties join the war against Iran and its allies, the Houthis are prepared to expand their military operations.
