Israel intercepts Yemeni missile
Yemen's Houthi group said on Tuesday it launched a ballistic missile targeting Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, escalating ongoing regional tensions. The Israeli military confirmed it had intercepted a missile launched from Yemen, following the activation of air raid sirens across multiple regions of the country. No immediate casualties or damage were reported. The missile launch came in retaliation for an Israeli air attack on Houthi targets in Yemen's Hodeidah port on Monday, part of Israel's ongoing military campaign to what it calls 'Iran-backed threats' in the Red Sea region.

Houthi-run Al Masirah TV reported a 'series of attacks' on Hodeidah port was under way but did not provide further details. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said the military was 'forcefully countering any attempt to restore the terror infrastructure previously attacked'.

Israeli military attacks Houthi targets in Yemen's Hodeidah port
The Israeli military attacked Houthi targets in Yemen's Hodeidah port on Monday (July 21, 2025) in its latest assault on the Iran-backed militants, who have been striking ships bound for Israel and launching missiles against it. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said the army was "forcefully countering any attempt to restore the terror infrastructure previously attacked." The Houthi-run Al Masirah TV said on Monday that a series of attacks on the port was under way, without providing any details. The Israeli military said in a statement that the port it attacked had been used "among other things, to transfer weapons from the Iranian regime, which are then used by the Houthi to execute terrorist attacks against the State of Israel and its allies." Since Israel's war in Gaza against the Palestinian militant group Hamas began in October 2023, the Iran-aligned Houthis have been attacking vessels in the Red Sea in what they say are acts of solidarity with the Palestinians. Israel has responded by launching attacks on Houthis, who control the most populous parts of Yemen, including the vital Hodeidah port. "As I have made clear – Yemen's fate is the same as Tehran's. The Houthis will pay a heavy price for launching missiles toward the State of Israel," Katz said. The Houthis' military spokesperson, Yahya Saree, said on Monday that the group attacked several targets in Israel with drones, which was in response to Israel's recent attack on Hodeidah port and the continued military campaign against Gaza. Earlier in July, the Houthis claimed responsibility for an attack on the Greek ship Eternity C that maritime officials say killed four of the 25 people aboard. In May, the United States announced a surprise deal with the Houthis where it agreed to stop a bombing campaign against them in return for an end to shipping attacks, though the Houthis said the deal did not include sparing Israel.

Yemen : IDF says attacked Houthi targets in Yemen's Hodeidah port
Aden - The Israeli military attacked Houthi targets in Yemen's Hodeidah port on Monday in its latest assault on the Iran-backed militants, who have been striking ships bound for Israel and launching missiles against it. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said the army was 'forcefully countering any attempt to restore the terror infrastructure previously attacked.' The Houthi-run Al Masirah TV said on Monday that a series of attacks on the port was under way, without providing any details. In a statement, the Israeli military said the port it attacked had been used 'among other things, to transfer weapons from the Iranian regime, which are then used by the Houthi to execute terrorist attacks against the State of Israel and its allies.' A security official with the Houthis told AFP that Israeli strikes destroyed a dock that had been rebuilt after it was damaged in earlier attacks. 'The bombing destroyed the port's dock, which had been rebuilt following previous strikes,' the official told AFP, requesting anonymity to discuss sensitive matters. Since Israel's war in Gaza against the Palestinian militant group Hamas began in October 2023, the Iran-aligned Houthis have been attacking vessels in the Red Sea in what they say are acts of solidarity with the Palestinians.
