The Huthis’ military spokesperson said cruise missiles and drones targeted the USS Harry S. Truman carrier group in an attack that was “the fourth within 72 hours”.
The United States launched heavy strikes against the Tehran-sponsored group beginning Saturday, prompting mass protests in the war-torn country and retaliatory efforts that a US general said were widely missing their mark.
Part of Iran's “axis of resistance” against the United States and Israel, the Huthis have been hampering the trade lane since the start of the Gaza war, claiming solidarity with Palestinians.
“The US aggression will not deter the steadfast and struggling Yemen from fulfilling its religious, moral, and humanitarian duties toward the Palestinian people,“ the Huthis said in a statement Wednesday.
Tuesday's missile, which the Huthis said targeted an air base, was the first reported attack on Israel from Yemen since the January 19 ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.
A military statement later said that “a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted by the IAF (air force) prior to crossing into Israeli territory.”
The wave of Israeli strikes in Gaza, by far the deadliest since the truce took effect, killed more than 400 people, according to the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory.
Hamas accused the Israeli government of effectively signing a death warrant for the remaining captives.
