U.S. Intercepts Attack Drones Launched from Yemen, Aimed at Israel

Yemen
Multiple attack drones launched from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen were intercepted and shot down by the U.S.
The drones were reportedly fired towards Israel.
The Houthi leader has stated that his forces will continue their attacks on Israel, and could potentially target Israeli ships in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait.
This incident occurred just hours after a cruise missile, also launched by the Houthis, was intercepted by the Israeli Air Force near Eilat.

In a recent development, multiple attack drones launched from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen were intercepted and shot down by the United States. The drones were intercepted while a U.S. warship, the USS Thomas Hudner, a U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer, was on patrol in the Red Sea. The ship and its crew sustained no damage or injury in the incident.

The drones were reportedly fired towards Israel. This incident occurred just hours after a cruise missile, also launched by the Houthis, was intercepted by the Israeli Air Force near Eilat. This marks the second time in recent days that the USS Thomas Hudner has shot down Houthi drones.

The Houthi leader has stated that his forces will continue their attacks on Israel, and could potentially target Israeli ships in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. Despite these threats, there have been no reported casualties or damage to Israeli ships or infrastructure.

These incidents come amidst a backdrop of ongoing conflict in the region. Despite an agreement for a truce between Israel and Hamas, Israeli officials have stated that there will be no pause in the Gaza fighting or release of hostages held by Hamas before Friday. Under the agreed deal, Israel and Hamas had agreed on a four-day truce during which the Palestinian militants would free at least 50 of the hostages taken in their deadly attacks. In return, Israel would release at least 150 Palestinian prisoners and allow more humanitarian aid into the coastal territory.
