Yemen’s Houthi rebels fire missile targeting northern Israel, rare target for group

Yemen's Houthi rebels launch missile at Israel as U.S. airstrikes intensify, targeting key areas in ongoing conflict.

Yemen’s Houthi rebels launched a missile early Wednesday (April 23, 2025) toward northern Israel, a rare target for the group as a monthlong intense U.S. airstrike campaign continues to target them.

Sirens sounded in Haifa, Krayot and other areas west of the Sea of Galilee, the Israeli Military said.

“An interceptor was launched toward the missile, and the missile was most likely successfully intercepted,” the Israeli Military said.

Those in the area could here booms in the predawn darkness.

The Houthis did not immediately claim the attack, though it can take them hours or even days to acknowledge their assaults.

American airstrikes, meanwhile, continued targeting the Houthis on Wednesday (April 23, 2025) morning, part of a campaign that began on March 15, 2025.

The Houthis reported strikes on Hodeida, Marib and Saada governorates. In Marib, the Houthis described a strike hitting telecommunication equipment, which has previously been a target of the Americans.
