The leader of Yemen’s Houthi rebels says his group will keep launching attacks against Israel, a day after confirming that an Israeli strike had killed their government’s prime minister in Sanaa.
In a televised speech on the Huthis’s Al-Masirah TV, Abdul Malik al-Houthi vows to continue “targeting Israel with missiles and drones” and to escalate these attacks, adding that recent Israeli strikes on rebel-held areas of Yemen will not weaken the group or discourage its fighters.
