Houthis: Missiles and drone strike Israeli targets, including Ben Gurion Airport
Shafaq News – Sanaa Yemen's Houthi movement (Ansarallah) announced on Monday that it had carried out one of its largest attacks yet on Israel, claiming to have struck 'sensitive sites' in response to Israeli airstrikes on Yemeni cities. Earlier today, the Israeli military reportedly launched a series of strikes targeting key infrastructure in Yemen's Red Sea province of Hodeidah. The Houthis, however, stated that their air defenses intercepted the attack and forced a large portion of the Israeli formations to withdraw. In a statement, the group said it had launched 11 missiles and a drone toward Israeli targets, including Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, the port of Ashdod, a power station in Ashkelon, and the port of Eilat (Umm al-Rashrash). بيان القوات المسلحة اليمنية بشأن تنفيذ القوة الصاروخية وسلاح الجو المسير عملية عسكرية نوعية مشتركة بأحد عشر صاروخا بالستيا وطائرة مسيرة استهدفت مطار اللد وميناء أسدود ومحطة كهرباء عسقلان وميناء أم الرشراش في فلسطين المحتلة. — أمين حيان Ameen Hayyan (@AminHian) July 7, 2025 The Houthis claimed that 'all missiles and drones hit their intended targets with precision,' and added that Israeli missile defense systems 'failed to intercept them.' Israeli authorities have not issued an immediate response, and there is no independent confirmation of damage or casualties resulting from the reported strike.

IRGC: Iran did not utilize full missile capabilities
Shafaq News – Tehran Iran's armed forces are prepared to launch a "strong" response to any future Israeli or US attacks, with much of their missile arsenal still unused, a senior Revolutionary Guard official warned on Sunday. Brigadier General Ebrahim Jabari, senior advisor to the commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), declared that the military remains at full combat readiness, emphasizing the scope and depth of Iran's underground missile infrastructure. The IRGC's Aerospace Force has so far showcased only a "fraction" of its capabilities among its vast and strategically dispersed arsenal, according to Jabari. Referencing late IRGC commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike on June 13, Jabari recalled his assertion that Iran could launch daily missile attacks for two years without exhausting its stockpile. Should hostilities intensify, Jabari warned, Iran's conventional forces, including the Army and Air Force, would be drawn fully into the conflict. 'Our response would not be partial,' he asserted. 'If the Zionist regime pushes forward, all components of our defense establishment will engage.' He further indicated that Iran's regional partners across the 'Axis of Resistance' would join the battlefield in the event of an escalation, and "will not stand by." The remarks follow a wave of strikes between Iran and Israel in June, which saw the US intervene and attack nuclear facilities in Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow.
