In a dramatic escalation, Yemen launches missile attack on Israel for the second time in hours, targeting the occupied Haifa region. Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree confirmed the use of a hypersonic ballistic missile that struck a “vital Israeli target” successfully, forcing civilians into shelters.
Support for Gaza and Regional Tensions
The missile launch is part of Yemen’s ongoing pro-Gaza operations, aimed at pressuring Israel to end its military actions in the besieged Gaza Strip. Saree emphasized Yemen’s commitment to preventing Israeli ships from navigating the Red and Arabian Seas until the war and blockade on Gaza cease.
Defiance Amid U.S. Strikes
These strikes come despite U.S. efforts to deter Yemeni operations through military intervention. A recent U.S. attack on Yemen injured three but failed to stop further launches.
As Yemen launches missile attack on Israel again, tensions grow across the region. With continued missile operations and rising support for Gaza, the conflict shows no signs of de-escalating.
