"The Yemeni armed forces launched ballistic missiles at important Israeli military targets in the south of occupied Palestine," the statement read.
This is the first strike by the Houthis since the beginning of the current escalation in the Persian Gulf.
The Houthis movement, supported by Tehran and the Lebanese movement "Hezbollah," is considered one of Iran's key regional allies in the Persian Gulf due to Yemen's strategic geographic location. Supporters of the Houthis have the capability to control the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and disrupt shipping. Previously, the Houthis imposed a ban on vessels linked to Israel or countries providing military support to it, stating that these actions were taken in solidarity with the Gaza Strip.
