Summary
Who are the Houthis? Their attacks have been targeting commercial vessels in the Middle East for several days. Two missiles fired from territory held by Houthi rebels in Yemen missed a commercial tanker loaded with jet fuel today. And US Navy ships have shot down an array of drones headed their way believed to have been launched by the militant group. How much of a threat are the Houthis to Israel and the US? The answers are troubling for the region and are contributing to the growing prospect of global war.
