TEL AVIV, Israel — The rockets from Gaza have mostly fallen silent. A ceasefire with Hezbollah militants in Lebanon has taken hold. But repeated fire from Yemen’s Houthi rebels, a faraway foe, is proving a stubborn threat for Israel.

Yemen’s Houthi group said Sunday that it targeted a power plant in Haifa in northern Israel amid escalation over Tel Aviv’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip. Military spokesman Yahya Saree said a hypersonic ballistic missile was fired at the Orot Rabin power station in southern Haifa.

Israel is signaling a wider campaign against Houthi militants in Yemen, a mountainous and impoverished country more than 1,000 miles from Israeli territory.

Israel launched a multi-wave attack across Yemen in retaliation for Houthi missile and drone strikes, the Israeli military confirmed Thursday.

Israel has severely weakened Hamas and Hezbollah. Now it's going after another member of Iran's so-called axis of resistance: the Houthi rebels of Yemen.

Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets of Sanaa on Friday as part of a weekly demonstration in solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Those gathered waved flags, banners and rifles aloft as they chanted anti-American and anti-Israeli slogans.
