Israeli army intercepts missile bound for Eilat from Red Sea
ISTANBUL (AA) – The Israeli army said Thursday morning that it had intercepted a missile coming from the Red Sea aimed at the southern city of Eilat.
Air defenses intercepted a missile that was en route to Israeli territory from the Red Sea, the Israeli army spokesperson wrote on X
The missile was “apparently launched by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen,” according to the Times of Israel newspaper.
The Houthis have been targeting southern Israel with drones and missiles and attacking cargo ships in the Red Sea owned or operated by Israeli companies or transporting goods to and from Israel in solidarity with the Gaza Strip, which has been under an Israeli onslaught since Oct. 7.
Due to joint US/British airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, the group has said it considered all American and British ships legitimate military targets.
