...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is

"Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, a missile that was launched from Yemen was intercepted," the Israeli military wrote on Telegram.
It said in a separate statement that a projectile was intercepted by the air force, without sirens being activated.
While most of the projectiles have been intercepted, a missile fired by the group in early May hit the perimeter of Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv for the first time.
Israel has carried out several strikes in Yemen in recent months, including on ports and the airport in Sanaa.
Sirens sound in northern West Bank settlements for first projectile, sending thousands to shelters; no injuries or damage reported
Two ballistic missiles launched at Israel by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen were successfully intercepted by air defenses, the military said Tuesday morning, in what has recently become an almost daily occurrence.
The first missile set off sirens shortly after 5 a.m. in several northern West Bank and Jordan Valley settlements, sending thousands to bomb shelters.
Preceding the sirens by about four minutes, an early warning was issued to residents, alerting them of the long-range missile attack via a push notification on their phones.
The second missile was intercepted at around 7:30 a.m., the Israel Defense Forces said. No sirens were activated “according to protocol,” the IDF said, as no towns were under any threat.
There were no reports of injuries or damage in the attacks.
The missiles were the fourth and fifth Houthi attacks on Israel in five days.
