Houthis fire ballistic missiles and drones toward Israel — Yemen group enters Iran-Israel war
·Yemen / Israel (trajectory)
Yemen's Houthi rebels fired ballistic missiles and drones toward 'several vital and military sites' in Israel on Day 29 — two attacks confirmed by a Houthi spokesman. France condemned the attacks on Day 30 as Houthis 'irresponsibly escalating' by entering the regional war. This is the Houthi group's first documented direct strike campaign against Israel during the current Iran-Israel war.
Yemen's Houthi rebels conducted two ballistic missile and drone attacks targeting 'several vital and military sites' in Israel on Day 29 (March 28), a Houthi spokesman confirmed. France's Foreign Ministry condemned the attacks on Day 30 (March 29), with spokesman Pascal Confavreux calling them 'irresponsible' and saying the Houthis 'should abstain from all attacks.' He urged that 'everything should be done to avoid an even greater escalation of the conflict.' The French FM statement explicitly described the attacks as 'entering the Mideast war by firing at Israel.' France highlighted that the war has already killed thousands and disrupted energy markets and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The Houthi attacks represent a significant new front: Yemen-based long-range BMs and drones are now added to Iran's own BM salvos and Hezbollah rockets in a three-axis simultaneous pressure campaign on Israel.
