Israel has reported intercepting a missile launched from Yemen targeting Tel Aviv, shortly after conducting airstrikes on Houthi targets. The Iran-aligned group claimed responsibility for the launch, describing it as a “qualitative military operation” involving a ballistic missile. Multiple alert sirens were activated across Israel during the dawn hours in response to the attack.
Following the recent attacks on commercial vessels bound for Israel, Israel is urging the United States to resume military strikes on the Iran-backed Houthi group. Israeli officials are calling for a broader coalition to intensify attacks on Houthi regime targets, emphasizing the need for collective action to address the threat posed by the group.
The Houthis continue to target Tel Aviv international airport and vessels in the Red Sea bound for Israel. Despite President Trump declaring a ceasefire with the Houthis in May, Israel has escalated its own aerial attacks on Yemen in response to the ongoing threat. Analysts suggest that a comprehensive ground operation may be necessary to effectively counter the Houthi insurgency.
