DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Yemen’s Houthi rebels for the first time Tuesday claimed missile and drone attacks targeting Israel, drawing their main sponsor Iran closer into the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip and further raising the risks of a regional conflict erupting.
Beyond the attack that saw the U.S. shoot down missiles, there had been a mysterious explosion Thursday that hit the Egyptian resort town of Taba, near the border with Israel. The blast, which Egyptian authorities have not explained, wounded six people. However, the missile fire sparked a rare air raid siren alarm to go off in Eilat, some 155 miles south of Jerusalem, sending people fleeing into shelters.
“This is something we will continue to monitor,” Ryder said. “We want to prevent a broader regional conflict.” But “now they have the hard power to back it,” said Thomas Juneau, a professor at the University of Ottawa who has studied Yemen for years.
