Yemen’s Houthi rebels launched a missile targeting northern Israel, marking a rare assault on this location amid ongoing tensions with the U.S. airstrike campaign. Sirens were activated in Haifa and areas west of the Sea of Galilee, indicating the Israeli military’s likely interception of the missile without reported injuries or damages.
The Houthis have previously warned of targeting Israeli ships due to a blockade affecting aid to Gaza and have been involved in over 100 attacks on merchant vessels since November 2023. The Houthis reported downing an MQ-9 Reaper drone over Yemen, confirming the ongoing conflict dynamics in the region.
