Israeli media Reports 63 Houthi Missiles Launched from Yemen Toward Israel
The report, citing military sources, underscores the growing threat posed by Iran-backed groups operating far beyond Israel's immediate borders.
According to the broadcast, the missiles—ranging from short-range projectiles to advanced ballistic systems—were fired from Houthi-controlled areas in northern Yemen, with many targeting strategic sites such as Ben Gurion Airport, Eilat Port, and military bases in southern Israel. While most were intercepted by Israel's air defense systems, several caused disruptions to air traffic and triggered nationwide alerts.
The Israeli military confirmed the latest incident on Tuesday, stating that a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted over central Israel, prompting sirens in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree claimed responsibility, describing the attacks as part of a broader campaign in support of Palestinians in Gaza.
The UN has expressed concern over the widening scope of the conflict, urging restraint and protection of civilian infrastructure. Meanwhile, Israeli officials have vowed to intensify retaliatory measures, with Defense Minister Israel Katz warning that 'Yemen's fate will mirror that of any state that threatens Israel's sovereignty.'

IDF Intercepts Houthi Drone Launched from Yemen
Israeli military announced it had successfully intercepted a Drone launched by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis. The missile, reportedly aimed at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, triggered air raid sirens across central Israel and Jerusalem, prompting civilians to seek shelter. The Houthis claimed responsibility for the attack, stating it was part of their ongoing campaign in solidarity with Palestinians amid the Gaza conflict. This marks the 66th missile launched by the group since the end of the Gaza ceasefire in March. Israeli defense officials confirmed that the missile was intercepted by the Israeli Air Force before reaching its target, and no casualties or damage were reported. In response, Israel carried out airstrikes on Houthi-controlled infrastructure in Yemen's Hodeidah port, targeting what it described as military assets used to stage attacks. The Houthis have vowed to continue their operations until Israel halts its offensive in Gaza and lifts the blockade. Meanwhile, Israeli officials warned that further provocations would be met with decisive retaliation.

Palestinian Media Forum: Israeli enemy deliberately blocks media coverage to conceal its crimes in Gaza
Gaza – Saba: Mohammed Yasin, Director of the Palestinian Media Forum, criticized on Wednesday the practices of the Israeli enemy, describing them as a systematic attempt to cover up the crimes committed in the Gaza Strip by restricting press freedom and preventing media outlets from reporting the truth about the ongoing destruction and humanitarian suffering. In a statement to the Palestinian news agency "Saba," Yasin said this policy represents a "double crime," as the Israeli enemy not only commits violations against civilians but also seeks to obscure the truth and prevent the world from seeing the scale of the humanitarian catastrophe. Yasin emphasized that press freedom is a right guaranteed under international law, including the Geneva Conventions, which explicitly protect journalists during armed conflicts. He stressed that restricting this right constitutes a blatant violation of international humanitarian law. He called on international media institutions, human rights organizations, and the United Nations to take immediate action to stop these repressive measures and ensure freedom of media work in Gaza. Yasin also saluted Palestinian journalists who continue to carry out their duties despite threats and dangers, urging the international community to provide them with real protection to ensure the truth continues to reach the world.
