Militants believed to be Houthi rebels fired a medium-range ballistic missile from Yemen toward Israel on Tuesday, according to two U.S. officials. In a statement, the Israel Defense Forces said the missile was intercepted by Israel’s Arrow air defense system, which was jointly developed by Israel and the U.S. The IDF confirmed that a surface-to-surface missile had been fired toward Israeli territory from the direction of the Red Sea, but not did specify whether it had originated in Yemen.
The USS Carney was in the northern Red Sea when it took out the missiles and more than a dozen drones. Israel said Tuesday was the first time that the Arrow system had intercepted a missile since the war started earlier this month. The IDF added that Israeli fighter jets had been scrambled Tuesday morning to the Red Sea to intercept unspecified “aerial threats” outside of Israeli territory.
