Yemen’s Houthis have launched a bold new assault on Israel, claiming strikes on Tel Aviv’s IDF headquarters, Ben Gurion Airport, Hadera Power Plant, and Ashdod Port using upgraded Yafa drones and missiles. Officials report that Israel’s Iron Dome and Arrow defense systems failed to intercept the attacks, leaving the country caught off guard. Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree warned that more deadly strikes will follow unless Israel halts operations in Gaza and Lebanon.
In a related escalation, Houthi forces also targeted the Liberian-flagged cargo ship MSC Aby in the Red Sea using drones and a Soumar-type cruise missile, reportedly causing significant damage. If verified, these attacks further threaten vital shipping lanes already disrupted by over 100 Houthi maritime strikes since 2023, raising the stakes for regional security and international trade.

Several Israelis were injured after a major Houthi missile strike targeted central Israel, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Air raid sirens blared across the region as Israel’s Iron Dome failed to intercept all projectiles, allowing missile fragments to hit residential and strategic areas. Ben Gurion Airport operations were disrupted, and chaos spread across major cities. The Houthi military, led by spokesperson Yahya Saree, claimed responsibility for the attack, describing it as a “successful strike against Israeli targets.” Dramatic videos show explosions, debris, and civilians rushing to shelters, highlighting serious vulnerabilities in Israel’s air defense systems.

Yemen’s Armed Forces have delivered a bold message to Israel and the world by penetrating Tel Aviv’s missile shield with explosive-laden drones that struck three high-value targets — including a sensitive Israeli site in Jaffa, military infrastructure in Ashkelon, and a strategic zone in the Negev Desert.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree confirmed the success of the operations and warned of continued strikes until the siege and genocide in Gaza end. The strikes form part of Yemen’s relentless campaign of solidarity with Palestine, which has also involved firing advanced ballistic and hypersonic missiles. Meanwhile, Yemen has issued a clarion call to Muslims and Arabs worldwide to rise, protest, and break the Gaza blockade. The message is clear — Gaza’s resistance is not alone, and regional escalation is mounting fast. Is a broader conflict in the Middle East now inevitable?

Tensions between Yemen’s Houthis and Israel escalated once again as the Israeli Defense Forces confirmed a drone attack launched from Yemen. Though intercepted mid-air by the Israeli Air Force, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) sent shockwaves across southern Israel. Sirens blared in towns like Sderot and Ibim, forcing residents to brace for impact. While the IDF later declared it a false identification, the psychological impact was undeniable.
The Houthis, who have repeatedly warned of retaliation against Israeli aggression in Gaza and beyond, appear determined to demonstrate their reach. With no physical damage reported, the attack still achieved its objective—rattling Israeli nerves. This calculated strike underscores the Houthis' growing drone capabilities and rising confidence amid the wider regional unrest. As false alarms and interceptions multiply, so do fears of a larger confrontation that could drag Israel deeper into a multi-front conflict.
