Houthi Rebels

The United States launched a series of airstrikes on Wednesday evening targeting key underground weapons storage facilities controlled by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.

The deaths of two US Navy SEALs during an operation earlier this year to seize Iranian weapons bound for Yemen's Huthi rebels were "preventable," an investigation into the incident found.

Yemen's Houthi rebels conducted drone attacks on "vital targets" in Israel's Tel Aviv, backing the Palestinian and Lebanese wars against Israel.

The Israeli military said on Sunday it was striking several Houthi rebel targets in Yemen, including power stations and a seaport, using dozens of aircraft.

Yemen's Houthi rebels on Friday said they had carried out a missile and drone attack on central Israel, after Israel's military said air defences intercepted a missile fired from the country.

Lebanon's political system is deeply entrenched in sectarian divisions. The country is a confessional democracy, meaning that key political and military positions are reserved for representatives of specific religious sects.

The group, officially known as Ansar Allah, evolved from a grassroots religious movement in the 1990s to a powerful militia with sophisticated weapons.

Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels said Saturday they had attacked a merchant ship in the Gulf of Aden, as a multinational naval force said two missiles exploded near a Liberia-flagged vessel.

The United Nations said Tuesday their human rights offices in Sanaa had been taken over by Yemen's Houthi rebels, with the UN's rights chief demanding they leave immediately and return all seized assets.

The leader of Yemen's Iran-backed Huthi rebels vowed a "military response" Thursday to the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in an attack blamed on Israel.

Yemen's Houthi rebels on Sunday promised a "huge" retaliation against Israel for a deadly strike on the port of Hodeida, as regional fallout widens from months of war in Gaza.

Israeli warplanes today struck targets around the Houthi-held Red Sea port of Yemen's Hudaydah, retaliating for a drone attack on Tel Aviv by the Iran-backed rebels that killed a man and exposed a vulnerability in Israeli air defences.

Israeli strikes on the Houthi-held Yemeni port city of Hodeida killed three people and wounded more than 80, the Iran-backed rebels said Sunday.
