Yemen's Houthi group has announced that it fired a ballistic missile at Israel, claiming to rally support for Palestinians amidst the escalating war between Israel and Hamas. The missile, aimed at Ben Gurion Airport, was intercepted by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), who confirmed no injuries were reported as sirens sounded across several areas of the nation. Concurrently, Israeli air strikes in Gaza have reportedly claimed the lives of over ten individuals while Israel escalates ground operations, resulting in substantial casualties and destruction.

Missile fired toward Ben Gurion Airport signals rising tensions amid ongoing conflict in Gaza.
The Houthi missile was intercepted by the Israeli Air Force (IAF) before it could breach Israeli territory, as confirmed by military sources. The Houthis, who view Israel as an adversary, pledged to retaliate following a series of American strikes against their positions in Yemen. In recent escalations, the Pentagon has undertaken extensive operations, hitting 30 targets in Yemen, marking a significant increase in military engagement in the region.
As a result of these developments, Israeli military operations have intensified in Gaza, with reports of deaths exceeding 430 within just two days due to air strikes targeting various locations, including homes in Khan Younis. The renewed violence has effectively ended the temporary ceasefire that had been in place since January and follows the initial Hamas-led attack on Israel that resulted in numerous fatalities and hostages.
This cycle of conflict underscores the complex interplay of regional tensions involving Iran, the Houthis, Israel, and the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, which continues to escalate with each passing day.
