JAKARTA - The Israeli military has again intercepted missiles and projectiles in separate launches from Yemen to Israel.

Reported by Reuters on Tuesday, May 27, the Yemeni Houthi group that sided with Iran continued to fire missiles at Israel as a form of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, although they agreed to stop attacks on US ships.

Israel launched attacks in response, including an attack on May 6 that damaged Yemen's main airport in Sanaa and killed several people.

Last week, Israel intercepted two missiles launched from Yemen. The sirens sound twice throughout the region including in Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank on Thursday.

Reported by Reuters on Thursday, May 22, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said the group launched a ballistic missile towards Ben Gurion Airport in Israel and two drones towards the Tel Aviv region.

Since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza in October 2023, the Houthis have launched dozens of missile and drone attacks targeting Israel, most of which have been intercepted or failed.
