Houthis of Yemen are playing an escalating role in the Middle East, attacking ships in the Red Sea and firing drones and missiles at Israel in a campaign they say aims to support Palestinians in the Gaza war.
The Houthis' role has added to the conflict's regional risks, threatening sea lanes through which much of the world's oil is shipped, and worrying states on the Red Sea as Houthi rockets and drones fly towards Israel.
