Yemen's Houthis target Israel with ballistic missiles in coordination with Iran
Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis said on Sunday (June 15, 2025) that they targeted Israel in coordination with Iran, the first time an Iran-aligned group has publicly announced joint cooperation on attacks with Tehran. The Yemeni group targeted central Israel's Jaffa with several ballistic missiles in the last 24 hours, military spokesperson Yehya Sarea said in a televised address. Also read: Israel-Iran tension updates on June 15, 2025 'Triumphing for the oppressed Palestinian and Iranian peoples... This operation was coordinated with the operations carried out by the Iranian army against the criminal Israeli enemy,' he added. The Israeli military earlier said sirens were activated in several areas in the country following missile launches from Iran and Yemen. Israel and Iran continued to exchange missile attacks since Israel launched its biggest-ever military strike against its longstanding enemy on Friday. On the same day Israel launched its attack on Iran, Israel said a missile that was launched from Yemen towards Israel fell in Hebron in the occupied West Bank. The Yemeni group however did not claim responsibility for the missile launch. The Houthis have been launching attacks against Israel, most of which have been intercepted, in what they say is support for Palestinians in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas war there since Hamas's October 7 2023 attack on Israel. Israel has carried out a series of retaliatory strikes. The U.S. also launched intensified strikes against the Houthis this year, before President Donald Trump halted the offensive after the Houthis agreed to stop attacks on American ships.

Tehran's Shahran oil depot hit in Israeli strike, says Iran
Israel attacked the Shahran oil depot in Tehran early Sunday, but Iranian authorities have assured that the situation is fully under control. According to the state-run SHANA news agency, operated by Iran's oil ministry, the impacted fuel tank did not contain a significant volume of fuel at the time of the attack. 'The fuel volume in the targeted tank was not high, and the situation is fully under control,' SHANA reported. On the other hand, Yemen's Houthi movement announced on Sunday that it launched ballistic missiles towards central Israel in coordination with Iran, marking the first time the Iran-backed group has publicly declared joint military action with Tehran, Reuters reported. Source: Reuters In a televised statement, Houthi military spokesperson Yehya Sarea said the group fired several missiles at the Israeli city of Jaffa within the past 24 hours. He stated the assault was "in triumph for the oppressed Palestinian and Iranian peoples" and confirmed that the strike was carried out in coordination with recent Iranian military operations targeting Israel. The announcement comes amid escalating regional tensions, as the Houthis, who control much of northern Yemen, have intensified attacks on Israel and shipping routes in the Red Sea since November 2023. These moves are part of what the group claims is its support for Palestinians during Israel's ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza. This development highlights deepening military cooperation between Iran and its regional allies, potentially expanding the Israel-Gaza conflict's impact across the Middle East. The Israeli military said that missile sirens were activated in several parts of the country following launches from Iran and Yemen, as missile exchanges between Israel and Iran continue to escalate after Israel's largest-ever military strike on Iranian targets on Friday. On the same day as the Israeli strike, a missile launched from Yemen landed in Hebron, located in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, according to Israeli authorities. However, Yemen's Houthi group has not claimed responsibility for that particular attack. The Iran-aligned Houthis, who control much of northern Yemen, have repeatedly launched missiles and drones towards Israel since November 2023, claiming to act in solidarity with Palestinians amid the ongoing war in Gaza following Hamas's 7 October attack on Israel. Most of the Houthi projectiles have reportedly been intercepted. The US also launched intensified strikes against the Houthis this year, before President Donald Trump halted the offensive after the Houthis agreed to stop attacks on American ships.
