2 missiles fired at Ben Gurion airport from Yemen as Israel threatens to target Houthi leader
CAIRO – 18 May 2025: The Houthi fighters announced targeting Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv with two ballistic missiles in an overnight attack that the group said 'successfully achieved its goal.' The operation comes a day after Israeli forces struck the Red Sea ports of Hudaydah and Salif in Yemen, while threatening to target Houthis' top leader Abdul Malik Al-Houthi if the Houthis continue their attacks. The Israeli strikes killed at least one individual and injured nine more, according to a statement by the Houthi health ministry. Israel has persisted in their retaliatory strikes on Yemen since a successful missile attack by the Houthis on Ben Gurion airport early in May. The Houthi missile on that day injured several Israelis after Israeli and US air defense systems failed to intercept the missile. Houhi spokesman Yahya Saree said the fresh Houthi attack utilized a hypersonic Palestine 2 missile and a Zulfiqar missile. The Israeli forces announced intercepting a missile at around 2 AM and suggested that another one fell short. 'The operation successfully achieved its goal,' Saree said. 'It caused millions of occupying Zionists to rush to shelters and air traffic at the airport to stop for about an hour,' he added. While the attack caused no direct injuries or damage, one person was reportedly injured while rushing to a shelter as sirens sounded across central Israel. The Houthis, who have launched hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones on Israel since the start of the Israeli war in Gaza in 2023, say their fresh attack comes in affirmation of their solidarity with the Palestinian people. 'The Yemeni Armed Forces renew their call to the Ummah (the Muslim word): Has the nation of two billion Muslims failed to save two million Muslims [in Gaza] from the threat of genocide and the threat of famine?' 'All this failure and inability will only encourage the enemy to persist in its attacks against all peoples and countries.' The war in Gaza has killed over 53,000 people, predominantly among women and children, according to local health officials.

Millions Rally in Yemen to Mark Victory Over US Aggression, Reaffirm Support for Gaza
Millions gathered in Yemen's capital, Sana'a, on Friday in a massive show of unity, celebrating what they called a victory over US aggression and pledging unwavering support for the Palestinian people. In a powerful statement issued at the protest in Al-Sabeen Square, demonstrators declared that US aggression against Yemen had failed to achieve its objectives. They credited Yemeni fighters with forcing a halt to the attacks, noting that Washington had quietly abandoned its protection of Israeli vessels and its posture of dominance. Yemenis flocked to Al-Sabeen Square in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, on Friday, chanting: 'In support of Gaza… We defeated America & we will defeat Israel.'#Al_Sabeen_Square#Sanaa #Yemen @qudsn — ⚡️🌎 World News 🌐⚡️ (@ferozwala) May 9, 2025 The statement hailed the 'defeat of the American enemy and the collapse of its goals,' offering congratulations to Ansar Allah leader Abdul Malik Al-Houthi, the Yemeni armed forces, and 'all free people of the Islamic nation.' Participants described the rally as both an act of gratitude to God for the failure of the US campaign and a bold stand against the Israeli enemy. They reaffirmed their full support for the Palestinian cause and for the fighters in Gaza, emphasizing that Yemen would never abandon its moral, religious, and fraternal duty to stand by them. 'The Yemeni people will not abandon Gaza, nor will they betray their values by turning their backs on their brothers,' the statement read. The statement also praised recent military operations by Yemeni forces, including a strike on the so-called Ben Gurion Airport, which they described as a significant success. Protesters vowed to continue escalating resistance, enhancing their military capabilities, and confronting both US and Israeli occupation forces across all domains. Condemnation of Regional Complicity Protesters expressed regret over the state of some Arab and Islamic regimes, accusing them of not only abandoning the struggles of their people but actively conspiring with external enemies.

U.S. steps up Houthi campaign with deadly strikes on Red Sea oil port
The U.S. attacked a key Yemen oil port controlled by the Houthis overnight and killed dozens of people, according to the Iran-backed militants, raising the specter of a widening conflict in the Middle East. The assault on the Ras Issa fuel-import terminal appeared to be one of the biggest and deadliest since U.S. President Donald Trump ordered an aerial campaign against the Houthis in mid-March. The strikes have so far failed to stop Houthi maritime assaults in the Red Sea and missile attacks on Israel, causing the American military to consider supporting a ground offensive on the group by Yemeni factions. Ras Issa, located about 60 kilometers (37 miles) north of the Red Sea city of Hodeida, was hit more than a dozen times by U.S. fighter jets. At least 74 people, most of them port workers, were killed and 171 were injured, according to Houthi-controlled health authorities in the area. Ras Issa, the main gateway for fuel coming into Houthi-held territory, suffered huge damage, the group said. U.S. Central Command, which oversees the American military in the Middle East, said in a statement on X that the objective "was to degrade the economic source of power of the Houthis.' CENTCOM didn't comment on casualties and didn't immediately respond to a Bloomberg request for comment. "This strike was not intended to harm the people of Yemen, who rightly want to throw off the yoke of Houthi subjugation and live peacefully,' CENTCOM said on X. The Houthis "use fuel to sustain their military operations, as a weapon of control, and to benefit economically from embezzling the profits from the import.' Until the latest incident, the Houthi health authorities said around 120 people had been killed since the first strikes on March 15. The Houthis have acknowledged that at least 40 of their fighters have been killed, including some with the rank of colonel. Their leader, Abdul Malik Al-Houthi, is still at large. In a speech on Thursday, Al-Houthi vowed to "continue waging jihad' against "American and Israeli tyranny.' Shortly after the attack on Ras Issa, sirens sounded across Israel because of what the country's military described as a missile launch from Yemen. The projectile was shot down, the Israeli military said, with no reports of casualties. Iran's foreign ministry said the strikes on Ras Issa were "barbaric' and that the U.S. was "an accomplice and partner in Israel's crimes.' The latest escalation in U.S. operations comes amid discussions between Washington and anti-Houthi forces in Yemen, as well as Gulf Arab states, over the possibility of mounting a Yemeni-led land offensive. The intention would be to oust the Houthis from Hodeida and possibly the capital, Sanaa. Shortly after returning to power in January, Trump designated the Houthis as a foreign terrorist organization. The start of the air strikes two months later was meant to end Houthi attacks on warships and commercial vessels — which have pushed up global freight rates — as well as missile strikes on Israel. The Houthis have held Sanaa, Hodeida and other areas since ousting Yemen's government around a decade ago. They say they are acting in solidarity with Palestinians and will continue until the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza ends. The Houthis have received significant military and technical support from Tehran in recent years, but tend to act more independently than Iran's other proxies such as Hezbollah in Lebanon. Though the U.S. says the strikes are also meant to put pressure on Iran, it is continuing diplomatic talks with the Islamic Republic. Those began last weekend in Oman and a second round in Rome is scheduled for Saturday. Trump has threatened military action against Iran unless it agrees to a deal that would curb its nuclear activities.
