Al Jazeera on MSNIsrael says missile intercepted from Yemen as US targets Houthi sitesIsraeli military says it intercepted a missile after it activated air raid sirens across multiple areas of the country.
Yemen’s Houthi rebels, who are backed by Iran and have repeatedly targeted Israel with long-range missiles and drones since the war in Gaza began on 7 October last year
The Houthis are a powerful rebel group in Yemen with ties to Iran and a history of attacking U.S. and allied interests. Here’s what to know about the group as U.S. airstrikes continue.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) said Israel was “incredibly angry” about the plans to attack Houthi rebels in Yemen leaked in a Signal group chat with Trump administration officials and a journalist.
The White House has said that U.S. strikes in Yemen earlier this month killed the Houthi top missile expert, but the U.S. military has so far declined to confirm the death, and the identity of the Houthi commander in question is unclear.
Israel provided the US with critical intelligence from an on-the-ground source in Yemen that was later leaked as part of the SignalGate scandal, according to a report.
