Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for launching hypersonic missiles targeting Israeli military bases, including the Ramat David airbase and Tel Aviv. Israeli forces managed to intercept the first missile, and the outcome of the second interception is under review. The Houthis assert that their attacks are conditional on Israel agreeing to a permanent truce regarding Gaza, where humanitarian issues persist. Concurrently, the US has intensified military actions in Yemen, leading to significant civilian casualties, especially during recent strikes that highlight the ongoing conflict's escalation.
Yahya Saree, spokesperson for the Houthis, confirmed the group had carried out a military operation against a key Israeli military target, asserting that hypersonic missiles successfully hit their destination.
The Houthi group has reiterated that attacks on Israel and vessels in the Red Sea will cease only if Israel agrees to a permanent Gaza truce, emphasizing their military pressure in solidarity with Palestinians.
Amid escalating US military operations in Yemen, civilian casualties are reportedly rising, with estimates suggesting between 27 and 55 civilians killed in March alone, indicating the severity of the conflict.
