Israel says Houthis launched 2 more missiles overnight
Israel’s military says two missiles were launched from Yemen in the early hours of this morning, shortly after Israeli forces bombed three ports and a power plant in the Gulf state.
It said it attempted to intercept the projectiles and is investigating if the bids were successful. Israel’s emergency service said it has not received reports of impact or casualties.
This comes after the Houthis claimed to have fired a missile towards Israel’s Ben Gurion airport on Sunday.
Houthis vow to continue Gaza support until Israeli attacks end
A senior Houthi official has reaffirmed the group’s commitment to Palestinians, saying operations to support Gaza will not stop until Israeli attacks on the enclave end and the siege is lifted.
On Sunday, the Yemeni group said it had fired a ballistic missile at Israel’s Ben Gurion airport. Later, the Israeli army targeted the ports of Hodeidah, Ras Isa and as-Salif along the Red Sea coast, as well as the Ras Kanatib power plant. It said it also struck a radar system on the Galaxy Leader ship, which was seized by the Houthis and remains docked in Hodeidah.
The Houthis, who control Sanaa as well as large parts of western and northern Yemen, have been carrying out missile and drone attacks against Israel since November 2023 in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
