Hezbollah says Israel strike on Houthi-controlled Yemen heralds ‘new, dangerous phase’ of war
Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group says Israel’s strike on the Houthi-controlled Hodeidah port in Yemen — which was carried out in response to a drone attack on Tel Aviv by the Iran-backed group — marked a dangerous turn nine months into Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza.
“The foolish step taken by the Zionist enemy heralds a new, dangerous phase of a very important confrontation across the entire region,” the Iran-backed terror group says in a statement.
