Israel military intercepts Huthi missile fired from Yemen
OCCUPIED JERUSALEM — Sirens sounded in several Israeli cities, including Jerusalem, on Tuesday as the military said it intercepted a missile launched from Yemen, with Huthi rebels later claiming the attack. "Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted by the Israeli air force", the military said in a statement. The Huthis later claimed the attack, saying they had fired a missile at Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv. Yemen's Iran-backed Huthi rebels have launched repeated missile and drone attacks against Israel since their Palestinian ally Hamas's October 2023 attack on Israel sparked the Gaza war. The Huthis, who say they are acting in solidarity with Palestinians, paused their attacks during a two-month ceasefire in Gaza that ended in March, but renewed them after Israel resumed major operations. Israel has carried out several retaliatory strikes in Yemen, targeting Huthi-held ports and the airport in the rebel-held capital Sanaa.

Huthis Release Video of Crew from Sunken Cargo Ship Eternity C
Yemen's Iran-backed Huthi rebels on Monday released video footage of crew members from the cargo ship Eternity C, which they sank earlier this month in the Red Sea. The group claimed the mariners were 'rescued' as part of a statement accompanying the footage. The Eternity C was one of two vessels targeted by the Huthis this month — along with the Magic Seas — in renewed attacks against maritime vessels they allege are linked to Israel. The strikes marked a return to their Red Sea campaign, which had paused in recent months amid the ongoing war in Gaza. According to the European Union's Operation Aspides naval force, 15 out of 25 crew members from the Eternity C remain unaccounted for, with four of them presumed dead. In the video, the Huthis presented 10 crew members they claimed to have rescued. They added that 11 were recovered at sea, including two injured who received medical attention, while one deceased crew member was retrieved from the vessel and brought to a hospital morgue.

Israel says intercepted missile fired from Yemen
JERUSALEM — Yemen's Huthi rebels launched two attacks targeting Israel's main airport, the latest on Tuesday, with the Israeli army intercepting both, a day after striking the rebel-held Yemeni port of Hodeida. Israel has repeatedly struck Huthi-held parts of Yemen after the Iran-backed rebels began targeting the country with missile and drone attacks, claiming solidarity with Palestinians over the Gaza war. The Huthis targeted Ben Gurion International Airport "using a 'Palestine 2' hypersonic ballistic missile", according to military spokesman Yarya Saree, who had hours earlier claimed a similar attack on the airport. On Monday, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said "Yemen's fate will be the same as Tehran's" after hitting Huthi targets in Hodeida port in an attack aimed to prevent any attempt to restore infrastructure previously hit. A Huthi security official, requesting anonymity to discuss sensitive matters, told AFP that "the bombing destroyed the port's dock, which had been rebuilt following previous strikes." The Huthis recently resumed deadly attacks in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, targeting ships they accuse of having links to Israel, to put pressure on Israel to end the Gaza war.
