A former Houthi leader speaks out after a deadly Houthi-claimed drone attacked Israel last Friday, and after Israel’s response of striking a port in Yemen. The former leader called the Houthi attack “a grave mistake.” The Jerusalem Post tells us more:

A former Houthi official told Israel Hayom in an exclusive Sunday report that the Yemeni group’s terrorist attack on Israel, where it launched a drone that killed one and wounded others in Tel Aviv, “was a grave mistake.” …

The former official also admitted that the pro-Iranian terrorist group doesn’t even have an air defense system capable of protecting their country.

“They are sending these rockets when they are unable to shoot down even one Israeli plane,” he continued, expressing fear that Israel might impose a naval and air blockade on Yemen – and that the civilian population would pay the price.
