US strikes on Yemen continue after Houthi missile hits by Israeli airport; terror group vows 'aerial blockade'
Share this @internewscast.com

According to reports, the United States has initiated a fresh series of airstrikes in Yemen. These actions follow the Iran-supported Houthis’ admission of responsibility for a missile landing near Israel’s primary airport on Sunday. 

The official news agency controlled by the Houthis in Yemen stated that “American aggression” was responsible for multiple strikes in the capital, Sanaa, on Monday. At least 16 individuals were injured in the attacks, according to New Arab.

From March 15 onwards, the U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) has engaged in a robust and ongoing campaign against the Houthi terrorist organization in Yemen, aiming to restore freedom of navigation and reinforce American deterrence, a Defense official informed Fox News Digital on Monday. “We intend to continue intensifying the pressure and weakening Houthi capabilities as long as they obstruct freedom of navigation,” the official added.

Earlier Monday, Yemen’s Houthis vowed to continue attacks on Israeli airports after the missile briefly halted flights and commuter traffic at Israel’s main international airport near Tel Aviv. The Houthis issued a warning to airlines that they would carry out “repeated targeting” of Ben Gurion Airport, Israel’s main gateway to the world. 

The Houthis had already threatened late Sunday to implement “a comprehensive aerial blockade” on Israel as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Cabinet was set to vote to expand fighting in Gaza. 

“Iran undoubtedly continues to provide support to the Houthis. The Houthis can only continue to attack our forces with the backing of the Iranian regime,” USCENTCOM said. “We will continue to ratchet up the pressure until the objective is met, which remains the restoration of freedom of navigation and American deterrence in the region.”

The Houthis have been firing at Israel since the war against Hamas in Gaza began after the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks, raising their profile as the last member of Iran’s self-described “Axis of Resistance” capable of launching regular attacks on Israel. 

Their missiles have mostly been intercepted, although some have penetrated Israel’s missile defense systems, causing damage.

The Israeli military said Sunday was the first time a missile struck the airport grounds since the Israel-Hamas war began. Initial findings indicated the likely cause was a technical issue with the interceptor, they said.

Israel’s emergency medical service Magen David Adom said four people were lightly wounded in the blast. Another two people were reportedly hurt while on their way to shelter, the BBC reported. 

Multiple international airlines canceled or postponed flights. The war with Hamas in Gaza and then Hezbollah in Lebanon led a wave of airlines to suspend flights to Israel, but many have resumed in recent months.
