Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi rebels fired a missile and drone at Israel, targeting Tel Aviv and Ashkelon, in retaliation for the killing of Hezbollah's senior drone chief, Mohammed Srur. The missile was intercepted by Israel’s Arrow defense system, while warning sirens were triggered across central Israel. Though no direct injuries were reported, 17 people sustained minor injuries while rushing to shelters. The Houthis’ leader, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, declared they “will not hesitate” to support Hezbollah. This escalation raises concerns about a wider regional conflict, with Israel already facing intensified attacks from multiple fronts, including Gaza and Lebanon.
