US EditionIsrael says it intercepted missile fired from Yemen; Houthis claim responsibility
- On May 3, 2025, Israeli defense forces successfully blocked a missile launched from Yemen, coinciding with air raid warnings sounding in several Israeli cities, including Jerusalem.
- The missile was launched by Iran-backed Huthi rebels controlling large parts of Yemen, who have increased attacks on Israel since the Gaza war started in October 2023.
- The Huthis, expressing support for Palestinians, have carried out numerous missile and drone strikes and attacked vessels in the Red Sea, leading to a surge in US airstrikes against them since mid-March.
- Israel announced it had intercepted two missiles within a 12-hour period, noting that the initial projectile was destroyed prior to crossing into its airspace. Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the Huthi military declared that their support efforts would persist until Israeli attacks end and the blockade on Gaza is lifted.
- These events reflect escalating regional tensions as US-led strikes aim to reduce Huthi capabilities, and the Huthis pledge to expand attacks in response to renewed Israeli offensives in Gaza.
