Armed Yemeni demonstrators take to the streets of the Huthi-controlled capital Sanaa, to show their support to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on February 2, 2024
WASHINGTON — The United States and Britain struck dozens of targets in Yemen on Saturday in response to repeated attacks on shipping by Iran-backed Houthi rebels that have disrupted global trade and put lives at risk.
The joint air raids in Yemen come a day after a separate wave of unilateral American strikes against Iran-linked targets in Iraq and Syria that were carried out in response to the killing of three U.S. soldiers in Jordan on January 28.
