Following a series of joint British-American strikes on Houthi rebels late Thursday, the U.S. launched another attack on the Yemen-operated group Friday, triggering anger and defiance from Palestinian supporters in Yemen amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.
“This brutal British [and U.S.] aggression on Yemen is because the Yemeni people are standing with Gaza and with the resistant Palestinian people,” Yemeni citizen Nour-al-din Shamiri said on Saturday.
The strikes came as retaliation to Houthi attacks on ships travelling in the Red Sea since November — shipping efforts U.S. President Joe Biden's administration has vowed to protect.
“We will make sure that we respond to the Houthis if they continue this outrageous behavior,” Biden said on Saturday, as protesters in the U.S. are calling for an end to the strikes.
Houthi spokesperson Mohammed Abdulsalam has said that the strikes, thus far, have had no significant impact on Houthi’s capabilities to continue preventing Israel-affiliated vessels from passing through the Arabian Sea and Red Sea.
As many have feared for months, the strikes signal another concerning step toward a wider conflict in the Middle East — as the violence in Gaza continues and the death toll has surpassed 23,000.
