The Houthi movement announced on Monday that it had fired a ballistic missile at Israel and declared an emphatic ban on Israeli maritime navigation in the Red Sea, according to Al Arabiya. Al Arabiya also reported that the missile attack announced on Monday was the first missile attack on Israel since early April.

Bluesky reported that the missile was a ballistic type launched by Yemen’s Iran‑backed Houthi rebels. Press TV said Yemeni armed forces launched a ballistic missile strike on Monday morning targeting the occupied Palestinian territories, and that a Yemeni missile attack disrupted Israel’s Ben Gurion airport. The Israeli military said it intercepted a missile fired from Yemen, as reported by AP News, which also noted that the Houthis claimed two missile launches at Israel on Saturday.

Accounts differ on whether the Monday attack was the first missile strike on Israel since early April. Gulf reported that the missile attack announced on Monday was the first missile attack on Israel since early April, while another source said the Houthis stated they fired a barrage of missiles at Israeli military sites in southern Israel, describing it as their first since the start of the war a month ago.

Tass reported that the Houthis claim missile strikes on Saudi aircraft over Yemen and that Saudi warplanes violated the airspace of Yemeni provinces in an attempt to prevent an Iranian plane.
