Yemen’s Houthi rebels will coordinate with other members of the “Axis of Resistance” in any joint operation, the group’s leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi says, using the name that Iran and its regional allies use for groups aligned with Tehran.
He says any decision to respond to Israeli attacks would be made by the axis as a whole.
Last week, Hezbollah military chief Fuad Shukr was killed in an Israeli strike in Beirut, and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in a blast in Tehran, allegedly by Israel. Earlier in July, Israel struck the Houthi-controlled Hodeidah port in Yemen after a Houthi drone strike killed a man in Tel Aviv.
