A sharp escalation has erupted between Israel and Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi militants, with both sides launching missile and drone attacks.
The Houthis claimed responsibility for firing ballistic and hypersonic missiles at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport, though Israel intercepted the projectiles before they could cause damage. In retaliation, Israel's military struck Houthi-controlled targets at Yemen's Hodeidah port, using both drones and airstrikes. The Houthis have vowed further attacks unless Israel ends its offensive in Gaza, raising fears of a broader regional conflict.
The situation has heightened security alerts in Israel and increased concerns about Red Sea shipping and regional stability.
