US EditionIsrael says it intercepted a missile from Yemen, Houthis claim responsibility
- On May 9, 2025, Israel's air defense systems successfully intercepted a hypersonic missile launched by Yemen's Iran-supported Houthi movement, targeting the area around Ben Gurion Airport outside Tel Aviv.
- The missile launch followed ongoing Houthi attacks in solidarity with Palestinians amid an Oman-mediated ceasefire with the US that explicitly excluded Israel.
- Following missile launches by the Houthis towards Israel, the Israeli military issued evacuation advisories for three Yemeni ports reportedly utilized by the group and responded with air attacks targeting Houthi positions in Yemen, while air raid sirens sounded throughout central Israel.
- Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz described the missiles as Iranian and pledged forceful responses, while Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree claimed the missile disruption caused airport halts and millions seeking shelter.
- The interception and counterattacks highlight persistent regional tensions tied to Israel's Gaza conflict, with no reported casualties but escalating hostilities involving Houthi support for Palestinians.
