The Yemeni group has fired missiles towards Israel in support of Iran.
Now, Yemen’s Ansar Allah, also known as the Houthis, have followed through on their threat by firing missiles toward Israel.
The move marks a significant escalation in the US-Israeli war over Iran.
There are fears the Iran-aligned group could attack shipping in the Red Sea, as it has done in the past.
This will further disrupt global trade, which is already affected by Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
Will Israel and America retaliate? And if yes, how?
