IDF Intercept Houthi Missile Launched from Yemen
The projectile, reportedly a hypersonic missile, was aimed at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, according to a statement broadcast by Houthi-run al-Masirah TV.
Sirens were activated across several regions, including the Dead Sea and Judean Desert areas, prompting thousands of residents to seek shelter before dawn. Although the missile was intercepted mid-air, fragments caused a small fire near Jerusalem. No casualties have been reported.
The Houthi spokesperson, Yahya Sarea, claimed the attack temporarily disrupted air traffic and reiterated the group's commitment to continue strikes in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.

Israel Launches "Black Flag" Airstrikes on Houthi Targets in Yemen
Aden — Israel launched a series of precision airstrikes early Monday morning targeting Houthi-controlled sites in Yemen. The operation, dubbed "Black Flag", was initiated in response to repeated missile and drone attacks originating from Yemeni territory toward Israeli cities. Scope of the Operation The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that over 50 missiles and guided bombs were deployed against strategic Houthi positions, including ports in Al-Hudaydah, Ras Isa, and Al-Salif, as well as the Ras Kathib power station. Among the targets was the previously seized vessel "Galaxy Leader", allegedly repurposed by the Houthis for military surveillance. Official Statements Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant described the campaign as "a necessary deterrent" aimed at curbing Iran-backed aggression and safeguarding regional maritime routes. 'Those who target Israeli sovereignty will face swift consequences,' Gallant stated. This marks the first direct Israeli strike inside Yemen in recent years and raises concerns about a broader regional confrontation. The United Nations has called for restraint, urging all parties to avoid further escalation.
