Iranian-backed Houthis claim responsibility for missile attack on Israel
Iranian-backed Houthis have claimed responsibility for a missile attack on Israel, which was intercepted. The attack is the first time Israel has faced fire from Yemen since the start of the recent conflict in the Middle East.
Iranian-backed Houthis launched a missile at Israel from Yemen. The missile was intercepted. This is the first attack from Yemen on Israel since the recent conflict began. The Houthis, a rebel group backed by Iran, have controlled Yemen's capital since 2014. The attack raises concerns about global shipping, as the Houthis could target vessels in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The US has been involved in the conflict, with at least 15 US service members injured in an Iranian missile strike on a Saudi Arabia air base.
