"Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree stated that the group fired 'a barrage of cruise missiles and drones targeting several vital and military sites' in Israel, coinciding with military operations by Iran and Hezbollah."
"The Houthis had so far avoided entry into the war, but their actions on March 28 raised fears of a possible disruption to the Bab al-Mandab Strait, through which roughly 10 percent of the world's seaborne oil passes."
"Saree emphasized that the Houthis 'confirm that our fingers are on the trigger for direct military intervention' if attacks on Iran continue or if new combatants join the United States and Israel against Tehran."
Houthi rebels intensified their involvement in the Middle East conflict by launching missiles at Israel, raising fears of a broader war. Iran announced it would allow ships from nonhostile nations to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Israel retaliated by targeting Iranian facilities, including a naval research site in Tehran. The Houthis' actions could disrupt the Bab al-Mandab Strait, crucial for global oil transport. Houthi spokesman stated they are prepared for direct military intervention if attacks on Iran persist or if new combatants join against Tehran.
