Houthis claim attacks on Israeli airport, US warships
The Yemeni rebel group says it has fired two ballistic missiles at Israel’s main airport and attacked a US aircraft carrier. The armed group said it targeted the Ben Gurion airport with two ballistic missiles, including “a Palestine 2 hypersonic ballistic missile”.
The announcement comes several hours after the Israeli military said it shot down a missile launched from Yemen before it crossed into Israeli territory.
The Houthis also said they fired “several missiles and drones” at the USS Harry Truman carrier and a number of US warships for the second time in the past 24 hours. There was no immediate comment from Israel or the US.
Two wounded in US attacks on Yemen: Report
The official Saba news agency is reporting that US air attacks have wounded at least two people on the outskirts of northern Saada city.
The agency, citing a security source, said the US launched at least eight raids on the area on Monday and that there have been daily attacks on the province of Saada since the campaign began last week.
The US launched its offensive on Yemen, killing at least 53 people, after the Houthi rebels, who control most of the impoverished country, threatened to resume attacks on Red Sea shipping. The threat came in response to Israel’s punishing blockade of the Gaza Strip.
US forces destroy cancer hospital in north Yemen
The Saba news agency is reporting that US forces have bombed Al-Rasool Al-Azam Oncology Hospital for the second time in a week, “leading to its destruction”.
The Anti-Cancer Fund (ACF), a government body, condemned the attack as a “grave and brutal” act and said it constitutes a war crime.
“These attacks are not just airstrikes, but systematic executions, intended to eliminate hope and wipe out life amid a suffocating blockade,” it said in a statement, calling on the UN and the World Health Organization to take “urgent action to stop the systematic targeting of medical facilities”.
The ACF has previously said the cancer hospital was newly built, at a cost of 805,165,000 Saudi riyals ($3.3m), and was “in the final stages of preparation to be a treatment reference for hundreds of cancer patients in Saada and neighbouring provinces”.
US confirms attacks on Yemen
The US’s Central Command (CENTCOM) has published a video on X of fighter jets taking off from a runway with the words, “Give ’em Hell Harry!!!”
This may be a reference to the USS Harry S Truman aircraft carrier, which is currently stationed in the waters off Yemen.
The post in the early hours of this morning came after Yemeni media reported renewed US attacks on the northern province of Saada. The Saba news agency said at least two people were wounded and a cancer hospital was destroyed in the latest raids.
Yemen’s Houthis, meanwhile, said they had launched attacks on the US aircraft carrier, as well as Israel’s Ben Gurion airport.
