Missiles from Yemen targeted Israel on Thursday, prompting a strong response from the US. At least two missiles were launched, triggering warning sirens in Israel and the occupied West Bank before being intercepted by the Israeli military.
The attack is believed to be the work of the Houthi rebels, who claimed responsibility for at least one of the missile launches. In response, they have threatened to increase their attacks on Saudi Arabia’s capital city, Sanaa.
US officials had previously warned Iran-backed groups in Yemen not to target Israel, but the Houthis appear to have disregarded these warnings. The incident highlights the ongoing tensions between Iran and the US in the region, with Yemen serving as a key battleground.
