Houthis missile attacks on Israel, entering Middle East war

Houthi rebels in Yemen joined Middle East war, claiming two missile attacks on Israel that raised concern on Sunday about the war spreading to the Red Sea.

A Houthi spokesman on Saturday said they fired a barrage of cruise missiles and drones targeting several vital and military sites in Israel. Since the launch of hostilities, Saudi Arabia had rerouted much of its oil exports via the Red Sea to avoid the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran said it has closed to shipping from hostile powers.
