Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for launching a missile at Israel, the second to target the country since the collapse of the Gaza ceasefire. The Israeli military intercepted the missile before it entered the country, with no injuries reported.
The Houthis said the missile targeted Ben Gurion International Airport, as well as US warships and aircraft carriers in the Red Sea. The group had vowed to continue attacks on American and Israeli interests until hostilities cease in Gaza.
US strikes targeting Yemen have intensified, with dozens of people killed in recent days. President Donald Trump warned Iran to stop sending military supplies to the Houthis, saying they will be “completely annihilated.”
Israel’s return to war against Iran-backed Hamas has heightened tensions in the Middle East, sparking fears of a wider regional conflict. The Israeli military launched a ground offensive in Gaza, partially recapturing a key area in the territory.
The situation remains volatile, with the Civil Defense in Gaza warning of an imminent famine due to Israel’s blockade of humanitarian aid. This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
