Joint US and British forces launched by the Houthis late Tuesday in what described as their biggest attack so far in solidarity with Palestinians in Hamas-ruled .

Antony warned of 'consequences' if the rebels do not stop attacking ships in the Red Sea, and called on to end their support for the rebels.
