Following US strikes, Houthis pledge to continue attacks
Yemen’s Houthi spokesperson Mohammed Abdulsalam says that the country would continue to “defend itself” after several US strikes targeted facilities in the capital Sanaa.
The Iran-backed rebel group in Yemen has been attacking commercial shipping in the Red Sea for more than a year to try to enforce a naval blockade on Israel, claiming they are acting in solidarity with Palestinians in Israel’s yearlong war against Hamas in Gaza, which was sparked by the terror group’s October 7, 2023, massacre in Israel.
