IDF Intercepts Houthi Missile From Yemen
- On Thursday evening, the Israel Defense Forces intercepted a Houthi missile fired from Yemen, causing sirens across central Israel and the temporary suspension of an Israel State Cup soccer match in Tel Aviv.
- This missile was the sixth such attack in one week despite recent Israeli airstrikes on Yemeni targets and a ceasefire agreement that explicitly excluded Israel from protections against Houthi attacks.
- Since the war began on October 7, 2023, approximately 50 projectiles have been launched from Yemen towards Israel, while Israel has responded with airstrikes, bombardments, and naval and aerial blockades against the Houthis.
- Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed the destruction of the last Houthi airplane at Sanaa Airport and stated Israel is enforcing blockades to deter future Houthi attacks, while multiple international airlines continue to suspend flights to Israel due to the missile threat.
- The ongoing Houthi missile launches reflect their strategic resilience and weaken Israel's deterrent image, contributing to a shifting regional power balance and prompting extended flight suspensions by several major airlines.
