Israel Successfully Intercepts Yemeni Ballistic Missile, Houthi Rebels Threaten Further Attacks

Israel's Arrow air defense system, jointly developed with the U.S., intercepted a medium-range ballistic missile believed to be fired by Houthi rebels from Yemen towards Israel. The missile, with a range of over 1,200 miles, did not pose a threat to U.S. Navy ships or personnel in the area. This marks the first interception by the Arrow system since the conflict began earlier this month. The Houthis have claimed responsibility for the attack and vowed to continue launching missile and drone attacks until Israel's "aggression" against Palestinians in Gaza ends.
