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 Temporarily Shuts Airspace After Missile Launch from Yemen
Israel briefly closed its airspace on Tuesday following the interception of a ballistic missile launched by Yemen's Houthi movement, marking a significant escalation in cross-border tensions linked to the ongoing Gaza conflict. The missile, reportedly aimed at Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv, was intercepted by Israeli air defenses before impact, according to military sources. Sirens were activated across central Israel—including Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and surrounding areas—prompting millions to seek shelter and forcing the suspension of incoming flights. Several aircraft, including commercial flights from Dubai and Amman, were rerouted or delayed as a precaution. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that the group had launched a 'Zulfiqar ballistic missile' and drones targeting strategic Israeli sites in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The Houthis have intensified their missile and drone campaigns in recent months, targeting Israeli territory and maritime traffic in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. In response, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that 'Yemen's fate will be the same as Tehran's,' signaling potential retaliatory strikes. The Israeli military has already conducted operations against Houthi-linked infrastructure in Yemen, including recent attacks on the port city of Hodeida. The incident underscores the widening regional scope of the Gaza war, with Iran-backed groups like the Houthis increasingly engaging in direct confrontation with Israel.

Israel's major airport attacked by… missiles strike Tel Aviv, not Iran or Syria, attack carried out by... Tel Aviv: After days of peace, Israel's skies are again shadowed with missiles. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) on Tuesday intercepted a ballistic missile that was launched by the Houthi militant group from Yemen. The missile was heading towards Ben Gurion International Airport, which is located near the capital city – Tel Aviv. The interception took place after air raid sirens were heard in many parts of the country. The responsibility for the strike has been claimed by Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree, stating that they targeted the airport by using the 'Palestine 2' hypersonic ballistic missile. The Houthis recently resumed deadly attacks in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, targeting ships they accuse of having links to Israel, to put pressure on Israel to end the Gaza war. A Houthi security official, requesting anonymity, told new outlet AFP that the bombing destroyed the port's dock. Notably, Israel recently rebuilt the dock which was destroyed in earlier airstrikes. It is to be noted that the attempted airstrike took place a day after the IDF carried out a major airstrike on Houthi targets in Yemen's Hodeidah port. These airstrikes are part of Tel Aviv's ongoing retaliation against Houthis as they have been attacking and destroying vessels which are coming to Israel ports. These Houthis are backed by Iran and are continuous firing several missiles into different parts of Israel. (Note: This is a developing story and further details will be added.)
