US EditionIsraeli military says it launched strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen
- Early on Monday, July 7, 2025, Israeli forces conducted airstrikes against key locations and infrastructure controlled by Yemen’s Houthi movement, which responded by launching missile attacks toward Israel.
- This escalation followed a Sunday attack on the Liberian-flagged Greek-owned bulk carrier Magic Seas in the Red Sea, suspected to be conducted by the Houthis using small arms, rocket-propelled grenades, and bomb-carrying drone boats.
- The Israeli military stated that Houthi-controlled ports are used to transfer Iranian weapons aiding terrorist operations, and claimed the Houthis installed radar systems on seized vessels to track maritime traffic for attacks.
- From late 2023 through early 2025, Houthi forces launched missile and drone attacks on more than 100 commercial ships, sinking two vessels and causing the deaths of four crew members. This campaign significantly disrupted trade along the Red Sea corridor, which handles around $1 trillion in goods annually, although recent maritime traffic has seen some recovery.
- The events underscore a fragile regional situation amid a possible Israel-Hamas ceasefire and Iran’s nuclear negotiations, with Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz threatening further strikes and the Houthis maintaining missile attacks on Israel.
