Houthis Taking ‘Haniyeh Revenge’ Campaign To Next Level? After Ship Attack, Now US Drone Downed

An American MQ-9 Reaper drone was reportedly shot down over Yemen on August 4. The drone was intercepted over the Houthi-controlled Saada Governorate in North Yemen. Pro-Hezbollah media outlet Al-Mayadeen made the claim amid escalating Iran-Israel tensions. This comes after a suspected missile attack by Houthis on a container ship in the Gulf of Aden. The ship attack was likely the first strike by Houthis following Israel's Yemen attack last month.
