US EditionTensions Escalate as Israeli Military Intercepts Missiles from Yemen
- On September 3, 2025, the Israeli military intercepted missiles launched from Yemen by the Houthis, triggering sirens across Israel including Tel Aviv.
- The interception followed escalating tensions since the war in Gaza began in October 2023, with the Iran-backed Houthis attacking Red Sea commercial vessels in solidarity with Palestinians.
- In response, Israel conducted airstrikes targeting areas under Houthi control in Yemen, resulting in the deaths of high-ranking Houthi leaders, including the government chief, prompting some figures to escape to secure locations.
- The Israeli military announced that an analysis of the missile debris confirmed the involvement of the Houthi group deploying a cluster-type surface-to-surface missile, marking a notable intensification amid growing regional tensions.
- This incident heightened alert levels and raised concerns about further disruptions to critical Red Sea trade routes, which handle about 12% of global commerce, potentially impacting broader regional security.
