Yemen's Houthis claimed responsibility for targetting a Liberian-flagged, Greek-owned ship, prompting Israeli retaliation and surging regional war fears.

The Houthis then responded with an apparent missile attack on Israel. The Israeli military said that it attempted to intercept the two missiles launched by the Houthis, but they appeared to make impact, though no injuries have been reported. Sirens sounded in the West Bank and along the Dead Sea.

Renewed clashes between Israel and Yemen’s Houthis, and Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, come amid talks over a potential ceasefire in Gaza.
