Huthi media says US-UK strikes hit 4 Yemen governorates


The latest strikes came a day after the rebels said they carried out a drone attack on Tel Aviv. The Israeli military said it intercepted “a suspicious aerial target” off central Israel overnight, without giving further details.

On Wednesday, the Huthis said they had fired cruise missiles at Israel, following Iran’s mass bombardment of the country the night before.

The day before, the Huthis damaged two ships in separate attacks off Yemen’s coast.

One ship was hit by a marine drone, puncturing a ballast tank, while a second vessel was damaged by a missile less than three hours later, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said.

The Huthis, who have controlled large swathes of war-torn Yemen for a decade, are part of Iran’s “axis of resistance” against Israel and the United States.

The latest strikes came as thousands took to the streets of the capital Sanaa to express solidarity with Palestinians and Lebanese amid attacks by Israel.

“The aggression on the capital and Yemeni governorates after the…solidarity marches with Lebanon and Gaza is a desperate attempt to terrorise our people,” Huthi official Hashem Sharaf al-Din told Al Masirah.

“Yemen will not be deterred by these attacks and will continue its steadfastness in confronting the enemies with all its strength.”
