Dhaka, March 28 -- Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis launched missiles at Israel on Saturday, their first such attack since the Iran war began, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US expected to conclude military operations within weeks.

The Houthis, whose involvement risks broadening and prolonging a war that has entered its fifth week, said their operations would continue until the "aggression" on all fronts ended. Israel said it had intercepted a missile from Yemen.

The war, launched with US and Israeli strikes on Iran on Feb 28, has spread across the Middle East, killing thousands and causing the biggest disruption ever to energy supplies, hitting the global economy and fuelling inflation fears.
