Yemen's Houthis said on Tuesday they would expand their range of targets in Israel in the next hours and days unless the "aggression" on Gaza stops. The Iran-aligned group's military spokesperson Yahya Sarea also confirmed that they had targeted an air base in Israel with a ballistic missile.

U.S. President Donald Trump has explicitly linked the actions of Yemen’s Houthi rebels to the group’s main benefactor, Iran.

The U.S. carried out new airstrikes on Yemen, expanding the biggest U.S. military operation in the Middle East since President Trump took office.
