Sana’a: Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis said on Tuesday they would launch more attacks against Israel if the war against Hamas in Gaza continued, saying they had already used drones and ballistic missiles in three separate operations.
“The Yemeni armed forces … will continue their qualitative attack with missiles and drones until the end of the Israeli offensive,” the Houthi military said in a statement broadcast on the rebels’ Al-Maseera TV.
The Houthis are part of an axis of resistance against Israel that includes Tehran-backed groups in Lebanon, Syria and Iraq, the Houthi government’s prime minister, Abdelaziz bin Habtoor, said on Tuesday. .”
“It is an axis, where coordination takes place, there is a joint operations room, a joint command for all these operations,” he said.
“We cannot allow this arrogant Zionist enemy to kill our people”
In 2014, the Houthis captured Yemen’s capital, Sana’a, and controlled large parts of the country.
Israel blamed the Houthis for Friday’s drone strike, saying its aircraft had been intercepted by “hostile targets” that had moved into southern Israel.
Meanwhile, debris hit a building across the border from Eilat in the neighboring Egyptian resort of Taba, slightly injuring six people, the Egyptian military said at the time.
On October 19, the US Navy said it had shot down three land-attack cruise missiles and “several” drones launched by the Houthis.
Israel’s bombings killed more than 8,500 people, including more than 3,500 children.
