Israel says it intercepted a missile from Yemen, Houthis claim responsibility
- On May 9, 2025, Israel's air defense systems intercepted a hypersonic missile fired by Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi movement aimed at the area around Ben Gurion Airport close to Tel Aviv.
- The missile launch followed an ongoing conflict where the Houthis, allied with Iran, continued attacks on Israel and shipping lanes despite a U.S.-mediated ceasefire excluding Israel.
- Israel issued evacuation warnings for three Yemeni ports controlled by the Houthis and conducted retaliatory airstrikes on Houthi targets, while air raid sirens sounded across central Israel with no reported casualties.
- Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree claimed the missile caused airport disruption, stating it led millions to seek shelter and halted operations for nearly an hour.
- The interception underscores ongoing regional tensions, with Israel affirming readiness to respond forcefully, while the ceasefire's exclusion of Israel suggests continued hostilities involving the Houthis.
