Friday December 27, France condemned “firmly“the missile and drone attacks against Israel carried out in recent days by the Houthi rebels in Yemen, in a statement by the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“France recalls that these attacks, like the many others carried out by the Houthis against commercial ships in the Red Sea and against Israeli territory for more than a year, are unacceptable, destabilizing and must stop immediately.“, adds the spokesperson, recalling that Paris reaffirmed “its commitment to regional stability and the security of Israel“.
The Houthis claimed Friday that they had fired a missile towards Tel Aviv airport (central Israel), launched drones towards the city of Tel Aviv and attacked a ship in the Arabian Sea.
The Israeli army, for its part, claimed that a missile launched from Yemen had been intercepted before crossing Israeli territory.
“Israeli aggression will only increase the determination of the Yemeni people to continue supporting the Palestinian people“, the Houthis said in a statement.
The Houthi attacks come after Israeli strikes Thursday on rebel-controlled sites, including Sanaa airport, bases, power plants and port facilities elsewhere in Yemen, according to the insurgents who denounced “a crime“.
