Houthis Rebels

Yemen's Huthi rebels targeted two US destroyers with drones and missiles as they transited the Bab al-Mandab Strait, but the warships defeated the attacks, the Pentagon said Tuesday.

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.
