On Tuesday, the Yemenians supported by Iran, Huti's rebels fired another rocket on Israel. The army intercepted the missile, there are no reports of losses and victims. The Israeli Minister of Defense announced retaliation.
“We thought that rocket attacks on Israel were over, but Huti just fired on us another (bullet)” – wrote Huckabe on the website X. “Maybe B2 bombers should visit Yemen!” He added.
American B-2 strategic bombers took part in a hit on Iranian nuclear facilities on June 22, when the US joined the Israeli offensive aimed at Iran's nuclear facilities.
Huti regularly attack Israel since the outbreak of the war in the Gaza Strip in the autumn of 2023, declaring support for Palestinian Hamas. From time to Israel resumption in the middle of March of the war after suspension of weapons, Huti fired 53 ballistic missiles at it and a dozen or so drones. Most Huti missiles were shot down and did not cause losses or victims.

“Yemen is waiting for the fate of Tehran; After cutting off the snake's head in Tehran, we will also hit Huti in Yemen, “said Israeli defense minister Israel Kac.
Recognized by the West as a terrorist organization, Huti control a large part of Yemen, including the Red Sea coast. The group belongs to the mesh supported by Iran of militias, which connects hostility to the USA and Israel. The alliance is referred to by Tehran as a “axis of resistance”, and by Israel as a “axis of terror”.
Since the beginning of the war, the Gaza Jemenian group also conducted over 100 attacks on ships in the Red Sea and in the Gulf of ADEN. Huti was fought by an international coalition led by the United States, which aimed to defend the freedom of navigation. In mid -March, the US began a new offensive and daily raids for the purposes in Yemen, but on May 6 they concluded a truce with Huti.
The rebels emphasized that the suspension of weapons does not apply to attacks on Israeli purposes and announced their continuation.
B-2 have already participated in American raids on Huti in autumn 2024. Israel led a retaliation at Yemen, attacking, among others Huti's main sea ports in Hudajd and Salifa and the airport in San.
