Houthis Fear ‘Murder Policy of…’? Take ‘Extreme Steps’ To Protect Leaders Amid US Attacks | Yemen

The Israeli military has put its air force on heightened alert for potential missile and drone attacks by the Houthis in Yemen, reported The Times of Israel. It comes as the US targeted the group’s leaders in heavy strikes on Yemen and vowed to continue to do so. The level of alert was already raised by the Israeli Air Force (IAF) last week after the Iran-backed group threatened to resume attacks on Israel over its blockade on Gaza.The Houthis halted their attacks on ships linked to Israel and its allies in the Red Sea – a global shipping route – when a ceasefire took effect in Gaza in January. However, the Yemeni group announced last week that it would resume them until Israel lifted its blockade of aid to the Strip. As per Israeli media reports, a missile was launched from Yemen over the weekend, which landed in Egypt. The Israeli military is already probing whether the missile was meant to hit Israel. n18oc_world n18oc_crux0:00 INTRODUCTION2:48 HOUTHIS TAKE ‘EXTREME STEPS’ TO PROTECT TOP LEADER4:22 IRAN HAILS YEMENI “RESISTANCE”
