A member of Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi rebel group says on Al Jazeera Mubasher TV that the group will intervene to support Iran against Israel as it did in support of Palestinians in Gaza.

Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a member of the Houthi movement’s political bureau, also reiterates that the group is coordinating with Tehran during its ongoing military escalation with Israel.

The Houthis, which have been launching attacks against Israel in support of Palestinians in Gaza, said on Sunday that they targeted Israel in coordination with Iran, the first time an Iran-aligned group has publicly announced joint cooperation on attacks with Tehran.
