Yemen's Houthis Launch Missile Towards Israel, Escalating Regional Tensions

Houthi rebels in Yemen have launched missiles towards Israel, entering the war raging in the Middle East. The Houthis, also known as Ansar Allah, are a major factor in the Yemeni civil war and are supported by Iran, which provides them with weapons and technology. The organization is part of the so-called “Axis of Resistance” and has previously used drones and missiles against commercial vessels. The launch of missiles towards Israel marks an expansion of the conflict and increases the risk of a wider regional clash, as the Houthis have the capability to strike targets beyond Yemen's borders, including oil facilities and critical infrastructure in other countries.
