Hamas hails Houthi strike on Israel, urges global action on Gaza

Hamas has praised Yemen’s Houthi movement for its latest missile strike targeting Tel Aviv, calling it a sign of “ongoing support and solidarity” with Palestinians under Israeli assault.

In a statement posted on Telegram, the Palestinian group said it “highly values and commends” the Houthis’ launch aimed at Ben Gurion International Airport, describing the action as further proof of “the noble stance of the brotherly Yemeni people” amid Gaza’s suffering.

The Israeli army confirmed it had intercepted the missile, which was fired from Yemen. While no injuries or damage were reported, air raid sirens rang out across parts of Israel.

Hamas used the moment to urge the wider Muslim world and the international community to ramp up pressure on Israel to halt what it called a “war of extermination in Gaza,” where tens of thousands have been killed and wounded since Israel launched its latest offensive.
