The Houthis have intensified missile and drone attacks on Israel since the outbreak of war in Gaza last year. The escalating conflict between Israel and Yemeni鈥檚 Houthi movement took a deadly turn this week, with Israeli airstrikes on Sanaa killing six people and damaging critical infrastructure, including the international airport. A missile launched from Yemen was intercepted near Israeli territory on Saturday, as the Houthis pledged continued attacks in solidarity with Palestinians.
