Yemen’s Houthis launched a missile strike against Israel, the group said Saturday. It was the first time the Tehran-backed militia has intervened in the U.S.-Israeli-led war against Iran, which has entered its second month.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces ... have carried out the first military operation using a barrage of ballistic missiles targeting sensitive Israeli military sites,” Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree said in a post on X.
Saree said the strike was in support of Iran’s regime and Hezbollah forces in Lebanon.
The Israel Defense Forces said they “identified the launch of a missile from Yemen towards Israel,” adding that its aerial defenses intercepted the threat.
