CAIRO, March 28 (Reuters) – Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis said they carried ​out a ‌second attack on Israel in less than 24 hours using missiles ‌and ​drones, and ⁠vowed to continue ⁠military operations in the coming days, the group’s military spokesperson ​Yahya Saree said in a ⁠televised speech.

The ⁠Houthis’ entry into ​the conflict adds ​to regional tensions, particularly given ‌their ability to strike targets far beyond Yemen ⁠and disrupt shipping lanes around the Arabian Peninsula and ⁠the ‌Red Sea, ⁠as they did ​in ‌support of Hamas ​in Gaza ⁠following the October 7, 2023, attacks.
