Israel trying to intercept two Houthi missiles

Yemen's Houthi group launched two missiles north on Friday morning, targeting Israel's Ramat David air base and the Tel Aviv area, according to Reuters and other monitors.

The Israeli military has since said that it intercepted the first missile and launched an interceptor towards the second missile fired from Yemen, as the US intensifies its attacks on the Iran-aligned Houthis.

There were reports from open source military monitors that the missile launched at the the Israeli air base had hit its target, but they have not been confirmed.

Israel's military said that after the launch of both missiles, alarms were activated in several areas, but there were no reports of damage or casualties.

In March, US President Donald Trump ordered large-scale strikes against the Houthis, who have been targeting ships connected to Israel or its allies in the Red Sea in solidarity with the Palestinians.
