Israel's ambassador to the United Nations issued on Monday what he called a final warning to Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi militants to halt their missile attacks on Israel, saying they otherwise risked the same "miserable fate" as Hamas,

A senior UN official appealed on Monday for an end to the hostilities between Israel and Houthi rebels in Yemen which have taken “an escalatory turn” in recent weeks.

Houthis have repeatedly fired drones and missiles toward Israel in what they describe as acts of solidarity with Palestinians under Israeli fire in Gaza

An advanced U.S. military anti-missile system was used in Israel to try to intercept a projectile for the first time since President Joe Biden placed the system in Israel in October, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Friday.

Israel's air defence intercepted a missile fired from Yemen early on Saturday, according to the military. The missile was shot down before it could reach Israeli territory, the military said on Telegram.

Israel launched a multi-wave attack across Yemen in retaliation for Houthi missile and drone strikes, the Israeli military confirmed Thursday.

“The Secretary-General is gravely concerned about intensified escalation in Yemen and Israel,” the statement added. One crew member from the UN team was injured, according to Ghebreyesu

WASHINGTON — After dealing devastating blows to militant groups Hamas and Hezbollah, Israel is now directing its military prowess at another key force backed by Iran: the Houthi rebels in Yemen.

World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was about to board a plane at the Sanaa International Airport when it came under attack. A crew member on the plane was injured, he said.

A new round of Israeli airstrikes in Yemen has targeted the Houthi rebel-held capital of Sanaa and multiple ports.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said a member of the plane’s crew was injured and that he and U.N. colleagues were safe. Israel said it targeted Houthi militant infrastructure.
