Israeli military intercepts missile fired from Yemen, Houthis claim responsibility

Israeli military intercepts missile fired from Yemen, Houthis claim responsibility

The Israeli military on Friday intercepted a missile fired from Yemen, a day after shooting down two projectiles launched by Houthi militants.

Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis claimed responsibility for the attack, saying that it fired a ballistic missile toward Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv.

The group's military spokesperson, Yahya Saree, said this in a televised statement in the early hours of Saturday.

According to Saree, the attack against Israel was the group's third in 48 hours.

He warned airlines that the Israeli airport was no longer safe for air travel and would continue to be so until the Israeli aggression against Gaza ends and the blockade is lifted.

However, the airport's website seemed to be operating normally and showed a list of scheduled flights.

The spokesman has also said without providing evidence that the Houthis had launched attacks against the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman in the Red Sea.

It recently vowed to escalate attacks, including those targeting Israel, in response to US strikes earlier this month, which amount to the biggest US military operation in the Middle East since President Donald Trump took office in January.

The US attacks have killed no fewer than 50 people.

The Houthis' fresh attacks come under a pledge to expand their range of targets in Israel in retaliation for renewed Israeli strikes in Gaza that have killed hundreds after weeks of relative calm.

The Houthis have carried out over 100 attacks on shipping since Israel's war with Hamas began in late 2023, saying they were acting in solidarity with Gaza's Palestinians.

The attacks have disrupted global commerce and prompted the US military to launch a costly campaign to intercept missiles.
