Yemen’s Houthi military spokesman claims responsibility for missile attack on Israel

The Iranian-backed Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for a missile attack on Israel in a statement broadcast on their media on Saturday (28 March).

Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the group’s military spokesman, said the barrage targeted “sensitive Israeli military sites” in southern Israel and was coordinated with operations by Iran-backed fighters in Lebanon.

“Our operations will continue until the aggression across all fronts ends,” Saree said. Israel said it intercepted the missile.

The video statement marks the Houthis’ first public confirmation of involvement in the ongoing Israeli-US war against Iran.
