Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis confirmed on Saturday that they have launched attacks on Israel for the first time during the current Israeli-U.S. war against Iran, marking their entry to the conflict and raising the prospects of a broader regional confrontation.
According to reports from Reuters, missiles launched from Yemen have been detected for the first time since this conflict, Israel’s military said on Saturday.
The group said the attack was a barrage of missiles that came after continued targeting of infrastructure in Iran, Lebanon, Iraq and the Palestinian territories.

Yemeni officials added that their operations would continue until the “aggression” on all fronts ends.
A second missle strike launched by the Houthi’s was also reported later in the day, according to Reuters.
Experts say that any involvement in the conflict by the Houthis could cause major disruption to maritime navigation around the Arabian Peninsula.
The Houthis’ entry could further hurt global shipping if they again target vessels in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait off the Red Sea, through which about 12% of the world’s trade typically passes.
This comes as global trade and the oil industry face uncertainty from the near-total closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump, has given Iran until April 6 to reopen the strait.

Muslims are the source of all problems in the middle east. They need a Final Solution.
Nuke Yemen. Nobody will even notice. It’s not like they’re even humans.
“Canada for Canadians “,
Exactly !!!
Nuke the whole fackin works.
Shitrael is a terrorist apartheid state that is the cause of all the problems in the region.
Maybe canada should nationalize our vast resources so we actually get some benefit from them. Of course with that will come corruption, like any other system. Max penalties for treason and corruption would fix that quickly.
We need to stay out of this. Not our problem. We don’t need anything from that region of the world; not their resources, not their ideologies, not their ancient ethnic and religious hatreds. They can fight to the last man for all I care. Canada for Canadians. Let’s focus solely on ourselves.
Ps. We’ll know the traitors among us. They will be the ones that demand we support one side or the other.

Time to wipe out Yemen once a for all. Not one good thing has come out of Yemen.
If anyone believes Trump when he says the Iranian army has been decimated is badly deluded! Iran has had 40 years to harden their military infrastructure and has a trained army of close to a million persons.
Not to mention ~5,000 missiles and ~80,000 drones still to be used with 400-500 being manufactured by day!
Iran will be controlling the surrender of Israel and the US in about a year or so… Probably sooner as the body bags start coming back to US shores.
Good military planning! Wait until Israel runs low on interceptors then attack with more missiles getting through…
