Yemen’s Houthis said they have fired ballistic missiles at “sensitive targets” in southern Israel in an operation “carried out jointly” with Iran and Hezbollah, Al Jazeera reports.

In a statement carried by the Houthi-affiliated Al-Masirah TV, the Yemeni group said Israel’s “aggression, crimes and attacks on Lebanon, Iran, Iraq and Palestine will only push us towards further military escalation”.
