This is the best summary I could come up with:
Saree said the attacks would continue until “Israeli aggression” stopped, referring to the war against Hamas in the Gaza strip.
Yemen’s Houthi leader, Abdel-Malek al-Houthi, said on Oct. 10 that if the U.S. intervenes in the Gaza conflict directly, the group will respond by firing drones and missiles, and take other military options.
The Houthis see themselves as part of the so-called “Axis of Resistance” which encompasses Iranian-backed Shi’ite Muslim factions in Iraq and Lebanon’s Hezbollah group.
During the fighting the Houthis targeted strategic assets in the Gulf, most notably energy facilities in Saudi Arabia.
Separately, the Israeli military said it used the “Arrow” aerial defence system for the first time since the Oct. 7 outbreak of the war with Hamas to intercept a surface-to-surface missile in the Red Sea fired towards its territory.
The Pentagon said a U.S. Navy warship on Oct. 19 intercepted three cruise missiles and several drones launched by the Houthi movement from Yemen potentially toward Israel.
