Israel's Arrow air defense system intercepted a ballistic missile launched by Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen over the Red Sea. The missile, likely aimed at Eilat, was destroyed before entering Israeli airspace, with sirens sounding as a precaution. While the Houthis didn't claim responsibility, they've previously targeted Eilat in solidarity with Gaza. This marks the sixth interception amid the Gaza conflict, with Houthis expressing anti-Israel sentiment. They've also targeted commercial ships, disrupting trade routes. The US military destroyed anti-ship missiles and a drone from Houthi-controlled areas before the Eilat launch. Houthis' actions exacerbate tensions in the region, posing threats to maritime security and Israel's safety.
