Israel’s military intercepted a drone launched by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels. Targeting a military site near Tel Aviv, the drone was successfully neutralized before entering Israeli territory. Additionally, the Houthis claimed responsibility for missile attacks on U.S. ships in the Red Sea.
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has vowed an unrelenting campaign against the Houthis until their aggressive actions cease. He underscored the importance of safeguarding freedom of navigation and issued a stern warning to Iran to halt its support for the Houthis. This marks a significant escalation in regional tensions as Israel and the U.S. adopt decisive measures in response to Houthi provocations.
