The Yemeni Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for an airstrike launched at Israel, denoting their entry into the Iran war following weeks of holding out on attacks.

Yahya Saree, a military spokesman for the Houthis, confirmed the attack in a televised address on Saturday, saying the ballistic missile launch was part of their “immediate intervention in support of the Islamic Republic of Iran at resistance fronts in Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine.”
