Israel's defence chief threatens to retaliate for Houthi missiles
- On July 1, 2025, Israeli forces intercepted a ballistic missile launched from Yemen by Iran-backed Houthi rebels targeting Israeli territory, triggering sirens across multiple communities.
- The missile launch followed repeated Houthi missile and drone attacks in solidarity with Palestinians amid the ongoing Gaza war sparked by Hamas's October 7, 2023 assault on Israel.
- Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz promised a strong response to the Houthis, warning that any aggression against Israel would be met with severe consequences, and asserted that Yemen would face the same treatment as Tehran.
- The missile was intercepted by Israel's Arrow defense system without causing injuries or damage, while Israeli retaliatory strikes targeted Houthi-held ports and Sanaa airport and threatened a naval and air blockade.
- These actions indicate increased regional tensions and Israel's intent to deter further Houthi attacks following a recent 12-day conflict with Iran last month involving strikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites.
