Israeli media Reports 63 Houthi Missiles Launched from Yemen Toward Israel
Israeli public radio has revealed that 63 missiles have been launched by Yemen's Houthi movement toward Israeli territory since the resuming of the Gaza war, marking a dramatic escalation in cross-border hostilities. The report, citing military sources, underscores the growing threat posed by Iran-backed groups operating far beyond Israel's immediate borders. According to the broadcast, the missiles—ranging from short-range projectiles to advanced ballistic systems—were fired from Houthi-controlled areas in northern Yemen, with many targeting strategic sites such as Ben Gurion Airport, Eilat Port, and military bases in southern Israel. While most were intercepted by Israel's air defense systems, several caused disruptions to air traffic and triggered nationwide alerts. The Israeli military confirmed the latest incident on Tuesday, stating that a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted over central Israel, prompting sirens in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree claimed responsibility, describing the attacks as part of a broader campaign in support of Palestinians in Gaza. The UN has expressed concern over the widening scope of the conflict, urging restraint and protection of civilian infrastructure. Meanwhile, Israeli officials have vowed to intensify retaliatory measures, with Defense Minister Israel Katz warning that 'Yemen's fate will mirror that of any state that threatens Israel's sovereignty.'

Israel Pushes for International Coalition to Launch Renewed Strikes on Houthis in Yemen
Israel is reportedly intensifying its diplomatic and military outreach to form a broad international coalition—including the United States—to launch renewed strikes against the Iran-backed group in Yemen , Amid escalating attacks by Houthi militants targeting commercial shipping and Israeli infrastructure. Senior Israeli officials have sent formal communications to Washington, urging more robust joint operations and expanded military coordination, citing what they describe as a 'global maritime security threat.' Israel argues that the Houthis' continued missile and drone strikes on vessels in the Red Sea and infrastructure such as Eilat Port and Ben Gurion Airport call for collective action beyond limited air raids. Sources close to the Israeli defense establishment suggest that the proposed coalition may include regional and Western powers and could mimic past multinational efforts in Syria and Lebanon. Intelligence-sharing between Israel and the United States has reportedly increased in recent weeks, with a focus on neutralizing Houthi launch capabilities and disrupting their supply chains.
