Israel Intercepts Two Missiles from Yemen Amid Rising Tensions

The Israeli Defense Forces intercepted multiple missiles launched from Yemen in recent days, amid escalating tensions in the region. The Houthis claimed responsibility for the attacks, stating they aimed to support Gaza amidst ongoing Israeli airstrikes that have reportedly killed over 590 Palestinians. Warning sirens were activated across central Israel, including Jerusalem and the West Bank, during the missile launches; however, no casualties were reported. The latest missile was reportedly aimed at Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv. The attacks come in the context of heightened regional instability, particularly after the collapse of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, prompting the Houthis to vow increased military operations. The situation is further complicated by U.S. airstrikes targeting Houthi positions in Yemen, as President Trump has threatened Iran over perceived support for the group.
