Yemeni Houthis Launch Missile Strikes on Israel as Iran Tensions Escalate

Yemen’s Houthi movement has fired a barrage of ballistic missiles toward southern Israel. This marks its first direct attack since the US-Israeli conflict with Iran began. The group’s military spokesperson said the strikes targeted sensitive Israeli bases. Israel intercepted at least one missile and sirens sounded in Beersheba. No casualties or damage have been reported so far. The Houthis, who control the capital Sanaa, have previously attacked international shipping in the Red Sea. They say they may disrupt the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, a key global trade route. Analysts warn that Houthi involvement could widen the war. Israel now faces multiple fronts, raising concerns about further regional escalation and impacts on global energy and trade.
