Israeli media reports that the US Navy intercepted a ballistic missile fired from Yemen, and the Israeli airline “El Al” suspended all flights over Saudi Arabia.

Israeli media reported on Monday at dawn that a ballistic missile was fired from Yemen and intercepted by the US Navy in the northern Red Sea.

A few days ago, the Israeli Air Force intercepted Yemeni drones over the Red Sea, claiming that they were launched from Yemen "potentially" towards “Israel,” according to Israeli media.

Earlier, the Israeli media spoke of missiles with warheads weighing a “total of 1.6 tons” launched from Yemen towards Eilat.

A few days ago, US officials reported that the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement carried out a more significant attack whose trajectory indicated it was heading toward Israeli-occupied Palestine than initially reported by the Pentagon, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Reportedly, the Yemeni Resistance fired five cruise missiles and roughly 30 drones, the WSJ said, citing people familiar with the matter.

Previously, the Pentagon reported that the USS Carney intercepted four cruise missiles and only 15 drones instead of the reported 30.

CNN reported that the warship, an Arleigh-Burke-class destroyer, intercepted four cruise missiles and  15 drones over nine hours as they were heading north along the Red Sea.

The fifth cruise missile was intercepted by Saudi Arabia.

Israeli airline "El Al": We will not fly over Saudi Arabia

After Washington and "Tel Aviv" intercepted missiles coming from Yemen more than once, the Israeli company El Al suspended all its flights over Saudi airspace.

In turn, Israeli media reported that the suspension of flights comes in the wake of the turbulent security situation that "Israel" has been experiencing since the launch of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. 

On that note, it is worth highlighting that the Palestinian resistance bombed Ben Gurion Airport more than once with missile barrages in response to the occupation's crimes against civilians, since the beginning of the operation on October 7. 

Earlier this month, the Yemeni Supreme Political Council chief Mahdi al-Mashat praised the Palestinian people and Resistance for the fight they are putting up against the Israeli occupation as part of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood and amid extensive Israeli bombardment on the Gaza Strip.

He affirmed that "the position of the Yemeni Republic is deeply rooted and steadfast like unwavering mountains, alongside our brothers in the Palestinian Resistance, until the establishment of the Palestinian state, whose capital is the holy city of al-Quds."

Al-Mashat called the United States arrogant, underlining that the Israeli occupation was a "fragile and perishing entity whose dignity, trampled upon by the honest men in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, cannot be restored."
