Yemen’s Houthis resumed attacks against Israel with a ballistic missile strike, with no reported casualties. Analysts are warning this could launch a new phase of the war. According to the Israel Defense Forces,

Houthi rebels fired a long-range surface-to-surface missile into central Israel on Sunday, the Israeli Defense Forces said. Why it matters: The attack, which Houthis said was launched from over 1200 miles away,

The rare attack was an illustration of the evolving conflict in the Middle East between Israel and Iranian proxies.

Since the Hamas invasion of Israel on October 7, killing around 1,100 mostly civilians, Iran’s proxies on Israel’s borders and Iraq have surrounded the Jewish state. The worst conflict has been on Israel’s northern border where Hezbollah have been sending almost daily bombardments.

An attack by Houthi rebels earlier this year saw Israel launch a strike against the impoverished Arabian Peninsula country.

Yafo, Israel - According to the Israeli mediam more than 20 air defense missiles from the "Arrow" and "David's Sling" systems were launched from Jerusalem and were unable to shoot down the Yemeni missile that targeted "Tel Aviv".
