The Iran-backed Houthis have been firing at Israel and attacking shipping lanes, repeatedly justifying their attacks as an act of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
Israeli military has said it intercepted a missile launched from Yemen early Sunday morning. A spokesperson for the Houthi movement said a missile was fired at Israel's Jaffa area.
Israel has threatened Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi movement—which has been attacking Israel in what it says is solidarity with Gaza—with naval and air blockade if its attacks persist.
Israel has carried out retaliatory strikes including one on 6 May that damaged Yemen's main airport in Sanaa, and another last week targeting the Red Sea ports of Hodeidah and Salif.
Tensions have been rising between Israel and the Houthis as the group presses on with attacks in response to Israel expanding its military operations in the Gaza Strip.
While Trump warned that Houthis rebels 'will be completely annihilated', past US presidents too have ordered attacks. But, bombings have hardly helped in Yemen.
Regarding the information on operations related to strikes on Yemen, Director of National Intelligence Gabbar deferred to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
