The Yemeni group remains undeterred in its support for Palestine despite the massive Israeli attack on a key port.
In a major regional fallout of Israel’s catastrophic war on Gaza, the Houthi rebels in Yemen have hit Tel Aviv for the first time, as the Israeli forces extensively damage the crucial port of Hodeidah in response.
Since November last year, the Iran-aligned Houthis, who control large parts of Yemen, have been attacking commercial and military vessels linked to Israel to show their support for the Palestinians. They say their attacks will continue until there is a ceasefire in Gaza.
