On March 29, 2026, a Houthi spokesman announced missile and drone strikes targeting multiple sites in Israel, claiming these actions were directed at vital military infrastructure.

In response, the French foreign ministry characterized the Houthis' conduct as 'irresponsible,' highlighting the potential for these actions to exacerbate existing tensions in the Middle East.

This development raises significant concerns regarding the stability of the region, as the involvement of Iranian-backed groups like the Houthis could lead to broader military engagements.
