Iran-backed Houthis Launch Raids on UN Offices in Yemen, Arresting Multiple Employees

The recent raids on UN offices in Yemen conducted by the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels were a direct response to an Israeli strike that resulted in the death of the Houthi prime minister and other senior Cabinet members. This attack dealt a significant blow to the rebel leadership, who are known to have close ties with Iran. On Sunday, the rebels carried out coordinated raids on UN offices in the capital city of Yemen, resulting in the arrest of at least 11 employees from various UN agencies focused on food, health, and children’s welfare.
