The Houthis held their fire for the first four weeks of the war, despite their affiliation with and backing from Iran.\u00a0Now, the movement that still holds the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, and the north and other areas of the country, has made its first move, firing missiles towards Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n

As part of their support for Hamas, the group targeted shipping coming through the Bab al-Mandab strait at the southern end of the Red Sea, between Yemen and the Horn of Africa.\u00a0Their action then endangered that key commercial maritime route.<\/p>\n
