Hamas says Israeli strikes in Yemen 'dangerous development'

Palestinian group Hamas said on Thursday that Israel's strikes in Yemen after Houthi rebels fired a missile at the country were a "dangerous development", while its armed wing called for more attacks on Israel.

"We regard this escalation as a dangerous development and an extension of the aggression against our Palestinian people, Syria and the Arab region," Hamas said in a statement as Israel struck ports and energy infrastructure in Yemen after intercepting a missile attack by the Houthis.
