The Times of Israel published on 28 March 2026 an article titled "Houthi Missile Attack on Israel Stokes Fears of Renewed Strikes on Red Sea Shipping."
Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen launched missile and drone attacks on Israel on 28 March, marking the first Houthi response since the United States and Israel began bombing Iran. The strikes raise the specter of renewed Houthi attacks to disrupt international shipping in the Red Sea. About 12 percent of world trade passes through the Suez Canal and Red Sea.
