The Houthis, who took control of Sanaa in 2014, have been firing missiles and drones at Israel and ships in the Red Sea after Israel’s war with Hamas, another proxy of Iran, broke out in Gaza almost two years ago. The Jewish state in return has been carrying out airstrikes on Yemen, assassinating recently the prime minister and nine members of the Houthi cabinet.
