Yemen's Houthi rebels claim missile attack on Israel and say Israel-affiliated vessels are a target again in Red Sea
The Iran-backed group said it hit sensitive Israeli targets and warned Israeli-affiliated vessels are now legitimate military targets.
- Yemen's Houthi rebels officially re-entered the regional conflict on Monday morning, launching a ballistic missile attack at Israel and shattering their compliance with a nominal regional ceasefire that had held since April 8.
- The group declared a "complete and total ban" on Israeli maritime navigation in the Red Sea, with military spokesperson Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree broadcasting a warning that any Israel-affiliated vessels passing through the waterway will immediately become active targets again.
- The Houthi missile targeted sensitive areas within the central Jaffa region near Tel Aviv, forcing the temporary closure of Israeli airspace before Israel's Channel 12 reported that the IDF's multi-layered air defense array successfully intercepted the incoming threat.
- Houthi leadership framed the escalation as a direct defense of the "Axis of Resistance," asserting that their actions are a coordinated response to intense Israeli military operations across Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen.
- The naval blockade threat raises immediate global anxiety over a renewed shipping crisis, coming just hours after Israel and Iran traded massive, direct air and missile salvos on the milestone 100th day of their broader conflict.
