Iranian-backed Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for two missile attacks on Israel as the war in the Middle East marks its one-month anniversary. Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree, a military spokesman for the Houthis, issued statements Saturday on the rebel group’s Al-Masirah satellite television network. He said the Houthis launched two missile attacks within hours of each other. Israel said it intercepted the first missile. It did not immediately comment on whether it intercepted any projectiles from Yemen in the second attack. The attacks came after Saree signaled in a vague statement Friday that the rebels would join the war.
