Milan, June 8 (LaPresse) – Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels have claimed a missile attack on Israel and say that ships affiliated with Israel are once again a target in the Red Sea. The statement by Brigadier General Yahya Saree was broadcast by the Houthi satellite TV channel Al-Masirah. It marks a further escalation, as the nominal ceasefire in the war with Iran is being tested by exchanges of fire between Israel and Iran.
