Houthis Claim Coordinated Missile Strike on Jaffa, Threaten Further Escalation

On June 15th, 2025, Yemen's Houthi movement launched a ballistic missile attack on the Israeli city of Jaffa. Yahya Saree, the group's military spokesperson, claimed responsibility and stated that the attack was conducted in coordination with Iran, in retaliation for Israeli actions in Gaza. "This operation was coordinated with the operations carried out by the Iranian army against the criminal Israeli enemy," Saree said in a televised address. This announcement follows Israeli airstrikes inside Yemen on June 14th, reportedly targeting Houthi leaders and port facilities. The attack raises serious concerns about regional stability and the potential for further escalation of the conflict. The international community is closely monitoring the situation and calling for de-escalation.
