The Houthi movement in Yemen has intensified its military operations against Israel and the United States since mid-March 2025. According to Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the U.S. has conducted 1,712 strikes against Yemen by sea and air, while the Houthis have launched 253 ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones in response. They claim to have downed seven U.S.

drones and two F-18 jets. Despite heavy U.S. attacks, the Houthis assert that their military capabilities remain intact and that American and Israeli forces have failed to defeat them. Recently, the Houthis executed a ballistic missile strike on Israel's Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, using a hypersonic missile that reportedly succeeded in its target and caused the airport's operations to halt for about an hour. The missile attack is part of the Houthis' declared enforcement of a no-fly zone over Israel in support of Palestinians in Gaza. Additionally, a drone strike targeted a vital Israeli site in Jaffa. Israel's U.S.-supplied THAAD missile defense system reportedly failed to intercept the hypersonic missile, though the Israeli Arrow system succeeded in intercepting another missile earlier the same week. The Houthis have renewed warnings to airlines against flying to occupied Palestinian territories, maintaining their air blockade until Israeli actions against Gaza cease. Israel has vowed a forceful retaliation following the missile strike on Ben Gurion Airport.
