Houthis say they would support HTS if they confront Israel

Yemen's Houthis said they would support Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) if they moved to confront Israel's incursions into Syria.

Israeli forces pushed further into the occupied Golan Heights on Sunday, following the overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad, taking over the buffer zone between them and Syrian-controlled territory.

They have also launched a number of air strikes across Syria in an alleged attempt to prevent advanced weapons from falling into rebel hands.

"Our military operations in support of Gaza are ongoing and will not deviate from the compass of hostility that governs our jihad against the enemies of the nation," said Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a member of the Ansar Allah political bureau, writing on X.

"If [HTS] moves to confront the Israeli aggression against Syria, we will be the first to support it."
