IDF downs two Houthi drones from Yemen

Since the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, the Houthis have carried out repeated missile and drone attacks on Israel.

The Israel Defense Forces intercepted two drones launched overnight Sunday by Houthi terrorists in Yemen.

The Iranian-backed Houthis entered the conflict in the early hours of Saturday, firing a ballistic missile at Beersheva, exactly one month after the IDF and U.S. forces began a preemptive strike on Iran on Feb. 28.

The missile was intercepted before reaching Israeli airspace, according to Ynet, which cited the Eilat Municipality.

Hours later, the Houthis fired a cruise missile at Israel that was also downed, the report said, adding that no air-raid sirens were activated.

Since the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, the Houthis have carried out repeated missile and drone attacks on Israel and targeted shipping in the Red Sea in what they describe as support for the Palestinian terror group.

In response, the IDF has conducted large-scale attacks on Houthi targets in Yemen, including strikes that significantly degraded the terror group’s leadership.
