Yemen’s Houthi rebels have entered the widening West Asia conflict, raising concerns over the security of critical Red Sea shipping routes. The group has previously targeted commercial vessels and warships near the Bab al-Mandab Strait, disrupting global trade. Fresh missile attacks towards Israel signal a renewed escalation.
