Israel shoots down missile fired from Yemen after striking Houthis
SUMMARY
Today, Israel intercepted a missile fired from Yemen, marking another escalation in the conflict with the Iran-aligned Houthi movement. This followed Israel's first public airstrikes against the Houthis, launched in response to a deadly drone attack in Tel Aviv that killed one person. The Houthis, who have fired 200 missiles and drones at Israel since the Gaza war began, vowed to continue their assaults. Israel's recent airstrikes in Yemen resulted in six deaths and over 80 injuries. This ongoing conflict has seen regional powers drawn into the fray, with Iran-backed groups like the Houthis attacking in support of Palestinians, further destabilizing the Middle East.
