The UN delegation was in Yemen to negotiate the release of UN staff detainees and to assess the health and humanitarian situation there. On behalf of WHO, Tedros sent his condolences to the families whose loved ones lost their lives in the attack, the statement read.
The United States and the United Kingdom have previously struck the Houthis after the group disrupted shipping in the Red Sea, one of the world's busiest waterways. The US State Department considers the Houthis to be a global terrorist organization.
Last week, a projectile fired from Yemen hit Tel Aviv, Israel's second-largest city, injuring at least 16 people. Days before, Israel intercepted another missile launched by the Houthis, with shrapnel causing extensive damage to a school near Tel Aviv.
Since Israel's war with Hamas in Gaza started in October last year, the country has come under fire from missiles and rockets from Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen, both Iran-backed militant groups, as well as from Iran itself. Almost all of the projectiles have been intercepted by Israel's air defenses.
The Houthis have for months targeted ships in the Red Sea, one of the world's busiest waterways, calling the attacks a response to the war in Gaza.
The Houthis, Hamas, and Hezbollah are all part of an Iran-led alliance spanning much of the region that has attacked Israel and its allies since the war began last year. They say they won't stop striking Israel and its allies until a ceasefire is reached in the Palestinian enclave.
Following Thursday's strikes, the Houthis stressed that its support for people in the Gaza Strip "will continue until the aggression on Gaza stops and the siege on its people is lifted."

GOOD JOB ISRAEL!
Well, I think we can all agree to condemn Israel for their poor aim.
IAF, you missed this guy. Try again!
That’s some ego!

Next time, UN hero, go out in the street, point to your nose and dare the incoming to hit you, like Patton.

“ Well, I think we can all agree to condemn Israel for their poor aim.”
Roflmao.
Really, I demand they try again until they get this bastard. Totally unacceptable.
JB you missed this guy. I expect more from a Freeper.
He was hustling in Yemen, working on those kickbacks.
Damn. They missed him.
> The UN delegation was in Yemen to negotiate the release of UN staff detainees...
IOW, they’ve taken hostages. But Israel’s the problem...
The IDF was partially successful in getting the Houthis. Better luck next time, with the WHO.
The Israelis missed the little turd. Please, oh please, try again.
Kosovo/Serbia. BJ didn’t miss the Chinese embassy.
