Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels announced on Sunday that they had launched multiple missiles toward Israel.
These launches occurred as Israel was already under Iranian fire, following a substantial Israeli bombardment campaign against the Islamic Republic.
In a statement released on Sunday, June 15, the Houthis declared they had “carried out a military operation targeting sensitive targets of the Israeli enemy” in central Israel.
The group, which controls significant areas of Yemen, including the capital Sanaa, specified that these attacks occurred “at different times over the past 24 hours” and involved “several Palestine 2 hypersonic ballistic missiles.”
The Houthis further asserted that their missile strikes were “coordinated with the operations carried out by the Iranian military.”
The Yemeni rebels began launching missiles and drones at Israel and Israeli-linked targets following the commencement of the Gaza war in October 2023.
In response, Israel has conducted numerous attacks on Houthi-controlled territories in Yemen, including assaults on ports and the airport in Sanaa.
