The Houthi group in Yemen announced today (Tuesday) launching attacks with "ballistic and winged missiles and drones" on Israel against the backdrop of the war that has been taking place in the Gaza Strip since October 7th.

The military spokesman for the Houthis, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, said in a televised statement broadcast on Al-Masirah channel, the group’s mouthpiece, that “for the twenty-fifth day, the world is witnessing what is happening in occupied Palestine and what the Gaza Strip is being subjected to from the brutal Israeli-American aggression.”

He added, "In the face of all this, and to come to the rescue of our oppressed people in Gaza, it was necessary for the Yemeni armed forces to carry out their duty in victory over the historical oppression of the Palestinian people."

Saree continued, saying, "Our armed forces launched a large batch of ballistic and winged missiles and a large number of drones at various targets of the Israeli enemy in the occupied territories."

According to Saree, “This operation is the third operation in support of our oppressed brothers in Palestine.”

He went on to say, "Our armed forces emphasize carrying out more qualitative strikes with missiles and drones until the Israeli aggression stops."

The Houthis control the capital, Sanaa, and most of the northern Yemeni governorates, including the coastal governorate of Hodeidah on the Red Sea, west of the country, and large parts of the coastal areas on the Red Sea in Hajjah governorate (northwest).

On October 19, from areas under its control in Hajjah Governorate, the Houthi group launched several missiles and explosive drones towards the Red Sea, according to local sources.

An official local source told Xinhua News Agency at the time that members of the Houthi group launched a number of drones from the coast of the Buhais region of the Midi District on the Red Sea in Hajjah Governorate.

He added that the Houthis launched more than ten drones towards the Red Sea, noting that the launch team left the area immediately after the operation.
A source in the local authority in Abs District in Hajjah Governorate also confirmed that the Houthis fired a number of ballistic missiles from an area near Al-Jar farms in the district towards the Red Sea.
The leader of the Houthi group, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, threatened in a televised speech on October 10 to bomb Israel and support the Palestinian resistance, saying, “If Washington intervenes militarily, we are ready to participate in missile bombing, marches, and military options with everything we can against Israel.”
