Houthi Attacks Against Israel Escalate Regional Tensions in Yemen
The UK warns that recent Houthi strikes against Israel risk further destabilizing the region and undermining Yemen's security, as tensions rise in the war-torn country.
Houthi attacks against Israel have escalated tensions in the already volatile region of Yemen, according to a statement by the UK government at the UN Security Council. The UK Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Archie Young, warned that these recent attacks threaten to further destabilize the region and undermine Yemen's security.
The Houthis, an Iran-backed rebel group that controls much of northern Yemen, have launched several missile and drone strikes against targets in Israel in recent months, marking a significant escalation in the conflict. These attacks have raised concerns about the potential for the Yemen war to spill over into a wider regional conflict.
