Houthis Claim Joint Strikes on Israel as IDF Reports One Missile From Yemen Intercepted

Analysts see the group testing involvement under limits to avoid wider retaliation.

Overview

  • The Houthi movement said a joint operation with Iran's Revolutionary Guard and Hezbollah fired a barrage of ballistic missiles and drones at targets around Jaffa and Ben Gurion Airport.
  • Israel's military reported a single missile launched from Yemen that air defenses intercepted after it appeared to be headed toward Jerusalem.
  • The IDF attributed most recent launches to Iran, saying 30 missiles entered Israeli airspace since Wednesday, including three carrying cluster munitions that break into many small bombs.
  • Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree said their role would be gradual, with future action tied to how the fighting evolves.
  • Independent confirmation of Houthi damage claims is limited, and the Institute for the Study of War says the group has stayed restrained to avoid blowback, including by holding off on new Red Sea disruption.
