Title: Houthis Hold Funeral for 17 Militants Killed in U.S.-British Air Strikes

The Houthi-controlled Yemeni news agency (Saba) reported that "the Iran-aligned group held a funeral today, Saturday, for at least 17 militants killed during joint U.S.-British air strikes." The agency stated: "Mourners condemned the American-British aggression against Yemen... affirming that these crimes will not deter the Yemeni people from continuing to support their brothers in Gaza." The Houthis have been launching missile and drone attacks on commercial ships since November 19, which they claim are in response to Israeli military operations in Gaza, prompting the UK and the US to carry out retaliatory strikes last month.
