Israel Strikes Houthi Targets in Yemen Following Intercepted Rocket

The Israeli military launched airstrikes on Yemeni infrastructure used by Houthi forces after intercepting a rocket reportedly aimed at Israel.

Israel's Iron Dome defense system intercepted a rocket launched from Yemen by the Iran-aligned Houthi militia, preventing any casualties.
In response, the Israeli Air Force targeted Houthi military facilities, including ports and energy infrastructure in Yemen's western and central regions.
Houthi sources reported nine fatalities in the strikes, with attacks hitting locations such as the Salif port and oil facilities in Ras Issa.
The Houthi militia has escalated attacks on Israel since the Gaza conflict began, citing support for Palestinians in Gaza as their justification.
This is the latest in a series of retaliatory actions between Israel and the Houthis, following previous drone and missile strikes from Yemen earlier this year.
