The Israeli military intercepted a missile launched from Yemen on Monday, according to a statement. The Houthis fired the ballistic missiles towards Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, despite waves of US strikes since March 15. US President Donald Trump threatened to punish Iran over its perceived support for Yemeni Houthi militants.
Warning sirens sounded in several areas of Israel, including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. The Houthis have vowed to escalate attacks on Israel, targeting the US aircraft carrier Truman with ballistic and cruise missiles and drones.
The Houthis have carried out over 100 attacks on shipping since Israel’s war with Hamas began in late 2023. The attacks have disrupted global commerce and prompted a costly US military campaign to intercept missiles. The group is part of the “Axis of Resistance,” an alliance of anti-Israel and anti-Western militias backed by Iran.
