Israel's ambassador to the United Nations issued on Monday what he called a final warning to Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi militants to halt their missile attacks on Israel, saying they otherwise risked the same "miserable fate" as Hamas,

A senior UN official appealed on Monday for an end to the hostilities between Israel and Houthi rebels in Yemen which have taken “an escalatory turn” in recent weeks.

The THAAD battery was used in theater over the past couple of days, a US defense official confirmed to Business Insider.

Houthis have repeatedly fired drones and missiles toward Israel in what they describe as acts of solidarity with Palestinians under Israeli fire in Gaza

Israel's air defence intercepted a missile fired from Yemen early on Saturday, according to the military. The missile was shot down before it could reach Israeli territory, the military said on Telegram.

Israel struck multiple targets in Yemen it said were controlled by Houthis, the last of the Iran-backed groups still fully engaged in the regional war that began 14 months ago.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said a member of the plane’s crew was injured and that he and U.N. colleagues were safe. Israel said it targeted Houthi militant infrastructure.

The THAAD, or Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system, was used to try to intercept a projectile from Yemen sometime during the last 24 hours, and an analysis would determine its success, said the source who spoke on condition of anonymity.

A new round of Israeli airstrikes in Yemen targeted Sana and multiple ports. The World Health Organization’s director-general said he was nearby when bombardment occurred.

Israel has severely weakened Hamas and Hezbollah. Now it's going after another member of Iran's so-called axis of resistance: the Houthi rebels of Yemen.

World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was about to board a plane at the Sanaa International Airport when it came under attack. A crew member on the plane was injured, he said.
