Yemen's Houthis claim fresh attack against Israel
Sanaa, May 30 (UNI) Yemen's Houthi group took responsibility Thursday night for launching a fresh "hypersonic ballistic missile" attack against central Israel, saying it was aimed at Ben Gurion Airport. "We carried out a military operation targeting Ben Gurion Airport in central Israel, using a hypersonic ballistic missile," Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea said in a statement, aired by Houthi-run al-Masirah TV. Sarea said the group would continue its attacks "until the Israeli aggression on Gaza stops and the blockade is lifted." "We will continue to ban Israeli air traffic to and from Ben Gurion Airport," the Houthi military spokesperson added. Meanwhile, the Israeli military said in a statement that it intercepted a missile fired by Houthi forces in Yemen towards central Israel. On Wednesday, the Israeli air forces launched airstrikes on the Sanaa airport in the Houthi-held capital Sanaa, destroying the runway, facilities, and the last passenger plane in the airport. The Houthi group, which controls much of northern Yemen, has been targeting Israel since November 2023 to show solidarity with Palestinians amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza.

Israel conducts fresh airstrikes on Yemeni ports on Red Sea: Houthi TV
Sanaa, May 12 (UNI) The Israeli military launched airstrikes on three ports in western Yemen's Hodeidah province late Sunday, shortly after issuing evacuation warnings, Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported. The strikes targeted the ports of Hodeidah, Ras Issa, and As-Salif, all located along the Red Sea. No casualties were reported. Local residents told Xinhua that Houthi workers had been preparing the ports to receive fuel shipments ahead of the attacks. Roughly 40 minutes before the strikes, Israel reportedly warned civilians to leave the areas. Earlier in the day, British Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) had also advised vessels to steer clear of waters near Houthi-held ports. On Friday, the group claimed responsibility for a missile attack on Israel's Ben Gurion Airport, which Israeli officials said was intercepted. The attack came in response to Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday that killed dozens in Sanaa and destroyed the capital's airport, including three commercial aircraft. Sunday's strikes mark the latest in a series of Israeli attacks on Houthi-controlled ports in recent weeks, amid growing fuel shortages in those areas. Last week, Oman announced it had brokered a ceasefire agreement between the Houthis and the United States, under which the Houthis agreed to suspend attacks on U.S. vessels in the Red Sea in exchange for a halt to American airstrikes on Houthi positions.

Houthis to adhere to ceasefire with US, says spokesman
Sana'a: Yemen's Houthi rebels have agreed to a ceasefire with the United States, and vowed to adhere to the agreement, if Washington does the same, the group's spokesman has said. 'The US interfered to support the Israeli entity by attacking Yemen. So, if they stopped their aggression, we will stop responding,' Houthi spokesman Mohamed Abdel-Salam told al-Masirah TV. 'If [the US] does not abide by the agreement in any way, the response will be fatal,' he added. He said that talks with mediator Oman have been going on for weeks before the announcement. Oman said that both parties had agreed to end hostilities, including strikes on US vessels in the Red Sea. (DPA)

Abdel-Salam said that Houthi support for Gaza will continue and that any deal with the US will not change the rebel group's stance towards Israel. Since October 2023, Houthi militants have repeatedly attacked military and civilian vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, saying their campaign is retaliation for Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip. The escalation has severely disrupted global shipping, forcing many carriers to reroute around the Cape of Good Hope.

2nd LD Writethru: Omani FM announces ceasefire deal between Yemen's Houthis, U.S.
MUSCAT/SANAA, May 6 (Xinhua) -- Oman has brokered a ceasefire between Yemen's Houthi group and the United States, Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hamad bin Hamood Albusaidi said in a statement on Tuesday. "In the future, neither side will target the other, including American vessels, in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait, ensuring freedom of navigation and the smooth flow of international commercial shipping," the statement said. The minister also expressed his country's gratitude to both parties for their "constructive" engagement, stating that it hopes the agreement will pave the way for further progress on regional issues and contribute to achieving justice, peace, and prosperity for all. Ahead of a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, U.S. President Donald Trump said the halt would start immediately, after the Houthis approached the administration on Monday night, indicating "they want to stop the fighting." "The Houthis have announced ... that they don't want to fight anymore. They just don't want to fight," said Trump. "We will honor that, and we will stop the bombings ... and they have capitulated." In a post on X, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, head of the Houthi Revolutionary Committee, said the U.S. "halt of aggression against Yemen" will "be evaluated on the ground first." He noted that the group's operations "were and still are in support of Gaza to stop the Israeli aggression and allow the entry of aid" into Gaza, indicating that the ceasefire with the United States did not include a halt to the group's attacks on Israel. Meanwhile, the head of Houthi supreme political council, Mahdi al-Mashat, said in a statement, reported by Houthi-run al-Masirah TV, that "there will be no retreat from supporting Gaza, no matter the cost. What happened proves that our strikes are painful and will continue." "To all Zionists, from now on, take shelter or leave for your homeland immediately. Your failed government will no longer be able to protect you," al-Mashat claimed in the televised statement. Tensions between the Houthis and the United States intensified after Washington resumed airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen on March 15. The strikes were aimed at deterring the group from attacking Israel and U.S. warships.
