The Houthi insurgency of Yemen has communicated this Saturday that it directly joins Iran's war by firing its first missile against Israeli territory since the conflict erupted a month ago.
The Yemeni forces, historical allies of Tehran, have ratified this morning what the Israeli Army announced at dawn: the start of an operation "in support of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the resistance fronts in Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine, and in view of the continuous military escalation, the attacks against infrastructure and the perpetration of crimes and massacres against our brothers".
In this context, the Yemeni forces have proclaimed "the first military operation with a bombardment of ballistic missiles directed against sensitive military targets of the Israeli enemy in the south of occupied Palestine".
The Israeli Army, for its part, has limited itself to reporting on the interception of at least one projectile in the south of the country, whose incursion into the airspace activated the alert sirens in Beersheba.
"This operation," add the Houthis, "coincided with the heroic operations carried out by the mujahideen brothers in Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the operation successfully achieved its objectives thanks to Almighty God."
The insurgents, who have controlled the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, for ten years, as well as large areas of the national territory, play a significant role in the current escalation, by possessing missiles and drones capable of impacting southern Israel by crossing the Red Sea or overflying Saudi Arabia or Jordan, whose defensive systems are now focused on shooting down Iranian projectiles.
"Our operations, with the help of Almighty God, will continue until the declared objectives are achieved and until aggression ceases on all fronts of resistance," the Houthis conclude.
