| [IsraelTimes] Iran-backed Yemeni terror group keeps up attacks after Israel killed its PM and other senior officials last week; unknown projectile falls near ship in Red Sea, but no one hurt The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen, still reeling from deadly Israeli strikes last week, launched a missile at Israel on Thursday and accused UN staffers of spying for the Jewish state. Defense Minister Israel Katz responded to the missile attack, writing on X: “The Houthis are firing missiles at Israel again. A plague of darkness, a plague of [death of] the firstborn – we will complete all ten plagues.” Some hours after later, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations agency said it received a report of an incident 178 nautical miles northwest of Yemen’s Red Sea port of Hodeidah, where an unknown projectile was seen to hit the sea some distance from a vessel. The vessel and crew were safe and proceeding to their next port of call, UKMTO said in a post on X. The Houthis have launched several missiles at ships linked to Israel in recent days, though there have been no reported impacts. The missile launch Thursday marked the Houthis’ third attack on Israel in 24 hours, after the military intercepted two missiles on Wednesday, one in the morning and one in the evening. The missile fired Wednesday morning was carrying a cluster munition warhead, the Israel Defense Forces said. There were no injuries in any of the incidents. The attacks came as the Houthis continued a wave of missile and drone launches over the past week, after Israeli airstrikes killed Houthi Prime Minister Ahmed Ghaleb Nasser al-Rahawi and several members of his cabinet. HOUTHIS ACCUSE UN STAFF OF SPYING FOR ISRAEL, US In the wake of Israel’s targeted hit last week, the Houthis arrested at least 11 United Nations workers. A Houthi official told AFP Thursday, on condition of anonymity, that the UN staffers are suspected of spying for Israel and the United States. For Israel and America? Are they mad? “Those who were arrested from among the United Nations employees are accused of spying for the American and Israeli aggression,” the official said. “Whoever has the accusations against them confirmed will be referred to trial.”The detainees included workers from the World Food Program and UNICEF, which provides aid and support for children. Ahahahahaha! Dozens of other people were arrested on Saturday “on suspicion of collaborating with Israel,” a Yemeni security source told AFP at the time. IDF says it intercepted two drones fired from Yemen [IsraelTimes] The IDF says that the Israeli Air Force intercepted two unmanned aerial vehicles launched from Yemen a short while ago. The drones were downed before they entered Israeli airspace, and no alerts were activated, in accordance with IDF policy. The military later releases footage. IDF confirms it killed 12 Houthi ministers last week, says group’s leader a target for elimination
The strike, carried out Thursday, targeted military infrastructure used by senior Houthi military commanders and government ministers allegedly involved in directing terror operations against Israel. According to the IDF, the Houthis systematically use civilian infrastructure as cover for military activity, diverting an estimated $1.5 billion toward weapons and terror operations at the expense of the local population. Beyond launching attacks against Israel, the Iran-backed group has also sought to disrupt international shipping lanes in the Red Sea in an effort to undermine global trade. The IDF says assessments of the strike are ongoing. | |
