On October 19, 2023, just days after the outbreak of the Swords of Iron war, the Houthis in Yemen declared an additional front against Israel as part of their commitment to the Iranian-led “Axis of Resistance” and the concept of “unification of the arenas.” The Houthi militia, which is supported by Iran and controls large parts of Yemen, directly launched missiles and UAVs against Israel and imposed a naval blockade in the Red Sea, disrupting global trade. According to the IDF spokesperson, since October 2023, the Houthis have launched approximately 220 missiles and around 170 UAVs toward Israel.
This map displays both Houthi attacks on Israel and IDF strikes in Yemen, located approximately 1,700 km from Israel’s borders. Additionally, the map illustrates the threat ranges of Houthi weaponry, including attack UAVs and ballistic missiles.
