US EditionHouthi rebels enter Iran war with missile strike on Israel
Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched their first missile strike from Yemen toward Israel amid escalating regional conflict and retaliatory airstrikes, Israel successfully intercepted the missile.
- On Saturday, Israel's military detected a missile launched from Yemen toward its territory, the first such attack since the war began on February 28. Air defense systems intercepted the projectile, with no immediate reports of casualties.
- Iranian-Backed Houthi rebels claimed responsibility through military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree, saying the operation targeted 'sensitive Israeli military positions' in response to continued strikes on Iran and its allies.
- Simultaneously, Iranian forces struck Saudi Arabia's Prince Sultan Air Base with six ballistic missiles and 29 drones on Friday, wounding at least 15 U.S. service members, including five seriously. The assault damaged refueling aircraft.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Friday the U.S. expects to conclude military objectives 'in the next couple weeks' without ground troops, though thousands of Marines have been deployed to the region anyway.
- Houthi involvement in the conflict risks broadening regional instability and disrupting the Red Sea and Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly $1 trillion in annual trade passed before the war. Brent crude oil has spiked roughly 60% since fighting began.
