Israel’s Defense Minister, Israel Katz, announced a firm response following the interception of a missile fired from Yemen by the Iran-aligned Houthi movement. The missile was successfully detected and neutralized over Israeli territory, with no reported damage or casualties from that launch . Israel attributed the strike to Houthi forces acting in solidarity with Palestinians amid the ongoing Gaza conflict.
Katz stated, “The fate of Yemen is the same as that of Tehran,” affirming that Israel would respond to any threats launched against its territory with decisive force. He vowed retaliation, declaring, “Whoever raises a hand against Israel — that hand will be cut off.” Officials further warned that Israel could implement both naval and air blockades if missile and drone attacks persisted .
Since the outbreak of Israel’s campaign in Gaza in October 2023, the Houthis—controlling large parts of Yemen—have repeatedly launched drones and missiles toward Israel and commercial traffic in the Red Sea, affecting global shipping lanes. Most of those projectiles were intercepted or failed to reach their targets; Israel has also launched retaliatory strikes in the region .
