Iran conducted the attack in retaliation for the killing of Hamas Political Bureau director Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in July, the killings of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah and Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) General Abbas Nilforushan in Beirut last week, along with other actions tied to Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Israel has been at war with Hamas since the Palestinian militant group launched a surprise attack from Gaza on October 7, 2023. The conflict has since expanded, first with the Lebanese Hezbollah movement firing rockets and drones into Israel, fueling intensifying exchanges of cross-border attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Ansar Allah, which, like Hezbollah, is member of the informal Iran-aligned Axis of Resistance coalition, also began firing missiles and drones at Israel just weeks into the conflict. The Yemeni group later expanded its offensive to targeting vessels accused of defying a maritime blockade unilaterally imposed by the group against Israel.<\/p>\n<p>In the latest operation targeting Israel, Ansar Allah military spokesperson Yahya Saree announced Thursday that the group had launched a wave of drones toward Tel Aviv. He claimed that the attack &#8220;successfully achieved its objectives, as the drones reached their targets without the enemy being able to confront or shoot them down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Saree also hailed fighters battling Israeli forces in Gaza and Lebanon, into which the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a ground offensive Monday, and confirmed the group&#8217;s &#8220;continuation in carrying out their military operations against the Israeli enemy until the aggression stops and the siege on the Gaza Strip is lifted, as well as the aggression on Lebanon stops.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, a day after the Iranian missile strike, Saree claimed another successful Ansar Allah operation against Israel in the form of hitting Israeli military sites with three Quds 5 cruise missiles. Praising Iran&#8217;s missile attack, he said Ansar Allah stood ready &#8220;to participate in any joint military operations against the Israeli enemy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ansar Allah also claimed the targeting of the Panama-flagged <em>Cordelia Moon<\/em> oil tanker in the Red Sea, later sharing explosive footage of the attack. The vessel is one of more than 100 ships struck by the group since last November.<\/p>\n<p>The Pentagon has deployed additional assets to the region in response to Ansar Allah&#8217;s campaign and has sought to intercept attacks against Israel and merchant ships. The U.S. began conducting direct strikes against Yemen in January, then, too, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/houthis-warn-all-force-will-used-respond-us-bombing-yemen-1860095\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"multivariate\">prompting threats of vengeance<\/a> from the group, which has pressed on with its attacks, some targeting U.S. warships and even downing multiple U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drones.<\/p>\n<p>Israel also conducted strikes against Yemen for the time in July after an Ansar Allah drone evaded air defenses at struck central Tel Aviv. Israeli jets struck Yemen again on Sunday following continued attacks from the group.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We know how to reach very far, we know how to reach even farther, and we know how to strike there with precision,&#8221; IDF Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi said at the time. &#8220;This is not a message, it is an action, an action that carries a message with it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Days earlier, after Amer offered praise for the now-slain Nasrallah and offered &#8220;to support our brothers in Hezbollah with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/houthis-aid-iran-ally-hezbolla-without-limits-against-israel-1958909\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Houthis to Aid Fellow Iran Ally Hezbollah 'Without Limits' Against Israel\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"multivariate\">all our strength and without limits<\/a>,&#8221; an IDF spokesperson told <em>Newsweek<\/em>, that &#8220;the IDF is prepared to take decisive action against any group or entity, including the Houthis, that threatens Israeli sovereignty or the safety of its citizens.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, just prior to the IDF announcing two of its soldiers had been killed and two dozen more wounded in a drone strike claimed by another Axis of Resistance faction known as the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an IDF spokesperson told <em>Newsweek<\/em> of an Iran-backed &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/israel-faces-iran-backed-ring-fire-hezbollah-ground-war-1963978\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Israel Faces Iran-Backed 'Ring of Fire' in Ground War with Hezbollah\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"multivariate\">ring of fire around Israel<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"imageBox\" style=\"\">\n<div class=\"innerBox ar23-innerBox\" style=\"height:0;padding-bottom:66.68%\">\n<picture class=\"mapping-embed\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 992px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2488135\/yemen-houthis-wave-hezbollah-flag.webp?w=790&amp;f=75764c76f3b586d13d76e295fe8bccc3 1x\"><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 992px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2488135\/yemen-houthis-wave-hezbollah-flag.jpg?w=790&amp;f=75764c76f3b586d13d76e295fe8bccc3 1x\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2488135\/yemen-houthis-wave-hezbollah-flag.webp?w=900&amp;f=31d94634c97ff6456f3686d93a72c028 1x\"><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2488135\/yemen-houthis-wave-hezbollah-flag.jpg?w=900&amp;f=31d94634c97ff6456f3686d93a72c028 1x\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2488135\/yemen-houthis-wave-hezbollah-flag.webp?w=790&amp;f=75764c76f3b586d13d76e295fe8bccc3 1x\"><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2488135\/yemen-houthis-wave-hezbollah-flag.jpg?w=790&amp;f=75764c76f3b586d13d76e295fe8bccc3 1x\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2488135\/yemen-houthis-wave-hezbollah-flag.webp?w=450&amp;f=8843b1d7877f3d876d2a2d4a49d5453f 1x\"><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2488135\/yemen-houthis-wave-hezbollah-flag.jpg?w=450&amp;f=8843b1d7877f3d876d2a2d4a49d5453f 1x\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2488135\/yemen-houthis-wave-hezbollah-flag.webp?w=1200&amp;f=bb08b7ec5987c608baf98db4695c38a7\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"mapping-embed imgPhoto\" id=\"i2488135\" src=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2488135\/yemen-houthis-wave-hezbollah-flag.jpg?w=1200&amp;f=bb08b7ec5987c608baf98db4695c38a7\" alt=\"Yemen, Houthis, wave, Hezbollah, flag\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div><figcaption class=\"caption ar23-caption\">\n<span class=\"cap\" id=\"short-cap-description\">Ansar Allah supporters raise a Hezbollah flag during an anti-Israel and anti-U.S. rally in Sanaa, Yemen on September 27. <\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"cap\" id=\"full-cap-description\" style=\"display: none;\">Ansar Allah supporters raise a Hezbollah flag during an anti-Israel and anti-U.S. rally in Sanaa, Yemen on September 27. <\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"credit ar23-credit\">Osamah Abdulrahman\/AP<\/span><br \/>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Ansar Allah has established itself to be a dominant force in Yemen since it first seized Sanaa amid civil war a decade ago.
