The Houthi militia from Yemen and the Israeli army are attacking each other again. At least six people were killed and more than forty injured in an Israeli rocket attack on Yemen on Friday evening.
Since the war between the Israeli army and the Palestinian organization Hamas began in October 2023, the Houthi militia has repeatedly attacked Israel with drones and missiles. She is allied with the country’s archenemy. On Friday, the militia demanded further attacks on Israel. For example, they fired a hypersonic missile towards Ben-Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. A drone was also fired at a “key target” in Israel, the statement said.
Moreover, it is said to have attacked another ship in the Arabian Sea. The container ship “Santa Ursula” was attacked by several drones near the Yemeni island of Socotra, the militia said. Initially it was not known whether the ship, which sails under the Danish flag, had suffered any damage.
Demanded an end to the siege
An Israeli counter-attack followed in Yemen on Friday evening. At least six people were killed and more than forty others were injured. Another Israeli airstrike was later reported on the capital Sanaa.
The Houthi militia now seemed even more determined to continue their attacks. The aggression would further embolden them to do so, the Iran-backed group said on Friday. The attacks would not stop “until the aggression against Gaza ceases and the siege is lifted,” the report said.
The Houthi control large parts of Yemen’s civil war. Like Hamas in the Gaza Strip and Hezbollah in Lebanon, it is part of the ‘Axis of Resistance’ directed against Israel. According to her own statements, the attacks are a sign of “solidarity” with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
