Houthis would target any Israeli presence in Somaliland, leader warns

The leader of Yemen's Houthi group has warned that any Israeli presence in the breakaway region of Somaliland would be considered a military target. This threat follows Israel's official recognition of Somaliland, a self-declared republic that separated from Somalia in 1991. The Houthi leader described Israel's move as aggression against both Somalia and Yemen, posing a threat to regional security. Several regional powers, including Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Qatar, have also condemned Israel's recognition, affirming their support for Somalia's unity.
