Yemen: US, UK forces down 15 drones over Red Sea as Houthis vow to keep up attacks on Israel
A senior Houthi official has vowed that the Yemeni rebels will continue operations against Israel, as repeated attacks by the Iran-backed group have disrupted international shipping through a key Red Sea waterway.
“The Houthis will not abandon the Palestinian cause, regardless of any US, Israeli, or Western threats,” Houthi politburo member Ali al-Qahoum told Al-Mayadeen, according to Reuters, while warning any hostile move against Yemen would have dire consequences.
He also claimed: “Yemen is concerned in protecting international maritime navigation in accordance with international laws and norms.”
Houthis said they fired a barrage of drones Saturday toward the port city of Eilat in southern Israel.
