US EditionIsrael says it intercepted a missile from Yemen, Houthis claim responsibility
- On May 13, 2025, Israel intercepted a hypersonic ballistic missile launched from Yemen by Iran-aligned Houthi rebels, triggering sirens across central Israel.
- The missile attack followed ongoing Houthi missile and drone launches at Israel, despite an Oman-mediated ceasefire between the Houthis and the US that excluded Israel.
- Israel responded with airstrikes targeting Houthi positions in Yemen, including key sites at Hodeidah port and Sana'a airport, amid continuing Houthi attacks on Israeli-linked vessels.
- Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz identified the intercepted projectiles as originating from Iran, while Israeli reports indicate that since March 18, 2025, the Houthi faction has launched at least 28 missiles and numerous unmanned aerial vehicles toward Israel.
- The incident highlighted the expanding conflict linked to Israel's Gaza campaign and suggested continued regional tensions despite ceasefire efforts involving other parties.
