The Houthis (Ansar Allah) in Yemen joined the war alongside Iran on March 28, carrying out a missile attack against Israel.
Sirens sound in the city Beersheba and surrounding towns in southern Israel amid the attack, with the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announcing that it had identified the launch of a ballistic missile from Yemen before the Houthis official claimed responsibility.
In a statement, the group said that it had targeted “sensitive military sites” in southern Israel with a “barrage of ballistic missiles,” in support of Iran and other “resistance fronts” in Lebanon, Iraq, and the Gaza Strip.
Houthi spokesman Brig. Gen Yahya Saree vowed to continue their attacks “until the aggression against all fronts of the resistance ceases.”
The IDF said that the missile was successfully intercepted by air defenses. No injuries were reported as a result of the attack, the first from Yemen in the ongoing war.

The attack came just hours after the Houthis announced that they were ready to intervene militarily in the American-Israeli war on Iran under certain conditions, including if new allies join the US and Israel or if the Red Sea is used to launch attacks on Iran.
“We affirm that our fingers are on the trigger for direct military intervention,” Saree said in a statement issued late on March 27.
Following the group’s first attack, an Israeli security official told the Hebrew daily Maariv that the launch of a missile from Yemen will not pass without a response.
The Houthis first began attacking Israel and maritime traffic in November 2023, a month after the outbreak of the Gaza war. They launched dozens of missiles and drones at Israel amid that war, prompting retaliatory Israeli strikes. Since the October 2025 ceasefire with Hamas, the group had held its fire on Israel.
The U.S. launched a military operation against the group in December 2025, but ended it abruptly in May with a ceasefire brokered by Oman.
While Israel will likely retaliate to the latest missile attack, the U.S. will not likely get involved, at least for now. The aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford, which was sent to the Red Sea — likely to intimidate the Houthis — retreated to Greece for repairs after an incident involving a fire, and the other aircraft carrier in the region, the USS Abraham Lincoln, is preoccupied with conducting operations against Iran from the Arabian Sea.
American warplanes deployed in Israel, Jordan and elsewhere in the region are also operating around the clock against the Islamic Republic.
The Houthis decision to join the war came amid increasing signs that the U.S. will launch ground operations in Iran, possibly with some Gulf countries joining in.

this resulted in a dire shortage of depends. trump refuses to send any from his stockpile, says bibi has all he’s gonna get. trump needs them for the invasion coming up.
supposedly the iranians copied the israeli tandem spike system and it looks like it really works well.
today exact number of lost tanks is exactly 117.
hassan nasrallah is directing operations from beyond. he has unleashed his allies from the spirit world on the joo invaders, with werewolves, banshees, ghouls, vampires and witches in the first wave. but he is holding several regiments of zombies and bigfoot in reserve. the kikes are doomed.
