The ongoing war involving the United States and Israel against Iran has further escalated after Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels confirmed their first attack on Israel. The Houthis had launched a ballistic missile attack targeting Israeli military sites located in the south of the occupied West Bank. However, the Israeli military said it intercepted the projectile. The Houthis, Yemen's Iran-backed rebels, have officially entered the Israel-Iran conflict, claiming responsibility for a barrage of ballistic missiles targeting sensitive Israeli military sites in southern Israel. After Hamas attacked Israel, Houthis vowed to support Hamas, leading to the US re-designating them as terrorists due to shipping attacks.
