Houthis using Iranian missiles, drones to attack civilian, military targets across Middle East, DIA confirms

Houthi militants in Yemen are using Iranian-supplied missiles and drones to attack civilian and military targets across the Middle East, analysis from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) shows. The report, "Iran: Enabling Houthi Attacks Across the Middle East," aims to provide more insight into the relationship between Iran and the Houthis. The militant group, stationed in Yemen, has for months been striking commercial vessels traveling through the Red Sea in protest of Palestinian civilians killed during Israel's ongoing offensive against Hamas members in Gaza. Houthi fighters stage a rally in support of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and against the U.S.-led airstrikes on Yemen, in Sanaa, Yemen, Monday, Jan. 29, 2024.
