Houthis Target Israel With Missile as US Pounds Yemen

Yemen’s Houthis fired another missile at Israel on Sunday, with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claiming it intercepted at least one projectile. The Houthis have repeatedly voiced support for Palestinians during the war in Gaza, targeting Israel-linked shipping in the Red Sea and launching missiles at the country.

There were no reports of damage or injuries linked to the attack, which reportedly prompted “millions” of Israelis to take shelter on Sunday morning, per the IDF. Two missiles were said to have landed in uninhabited areas, in addition to the one shot down.

“Following the alerts that were activated a short time ago in several areas of the country, the Air Force intercepted one missile launched from Yemen. The missile was intercepted before it crossed into the country’s territory,” Israel’s military wrote in Hebrew in a social media post.
