DUBAI, December 3. /TASS/. The Houthis from Yemen's rebel Ansar Allah movement jointly with the Islamic Resistance in Iraq have delivered three strikes on Israel in the past two days, the movement’s military spokesperson Yahya Sarea said.

"The Yemeni armed forces jointly with the Islamic Resistance in Iraq conducted three military operations against the Israeli enemy in the past 48 hours. Two Israeli targets in the north of occupied Palestine were destroyed in the course of two operations that involved the use of several drones. In the course of one more operation, several drones attacked a vital facility near Umm al-Rashrash (the Arab name for Eilat - TASS) in the south of occupied Palestine," he told the Houthi-owned Al Masirah television channel.

Following the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in the Gaza Strip, the Houthis warned that they would launch strikes on Israeli territory while barring ships associated with the Jewish state from passing through the waters of the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait until Tel Aviv ceased its military operation against Palestinian radical group Hamas in the embattled enclave. Since mid-November, dozens of civilian ships have been attacked by the Houthi in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.

In response to Ansar Allah's actions, the US authorities announced the creation of an international coalition and preparations for an operation codenamed Prosperity Guardian, expected to ensure freedom of navigation and protection of ships in the Red Sea. Since then, the United States and the United Kingdom have been regularly delivering strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen.
