The Houthis announced their first attack on Israel since January.

For the first time since January this year, the Yemeni Houthis fired on Israeli territories in response to the resumption of hostilities in the Gaza Strip. This was announced on March 18 by Yahya Saria, the military representative of the Houthis.

The military-political Shiite movement Ansar Allah attacked the Nevatim air base in southern Israel.

"Our armed forces attacked the Nevatim airbase of the Israeli enemy with a hypersonic missile <...>. The operation has achieved its goal... We intend to expand the scope of our targets in Israel in the coming hours and days if military operations in the Gaza Strip do not stop," Saria said on the social network X.
