SANAA, YEMEN - APRIL 26, 2025 - USERS MUST CREDIT "HOUTHI PRESS OFFICE" HANDOUT - MUST NOT OBSCURE LOGO - EDITORIAL USE ONLY: The Yemeni Houthi group on Saturday, April 26, said it targeted Israel’s Nevatim Airbase with a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said in a televised statement that the missile "successfully reached its target and the interception systems failed to stop it." Earlier in the day, the Israeli army announced its air defense systems intercepted a missile launched from Yemen before it entered Israeli airspace, triggering sirens in several areas. The Houthis have targeted ships passing through the Red and Arabian seas, the Bab al-Mandab Strait, and the Gulf of Aden since November 2023 in solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, where more than 51,000 people have been killed in a brutal Israeli assault since October 2023. The group halted attacks when a ceasefire in Gaza was declared in January between Israel and the Palestinian resistance group Hamas, but resumed them after Israel renewed airstrikes on the enclave last month.
