Us Navy Ship Intercepts Missile From Yemen To Israel

POSTED ON October 19, 2023 •   Uncategorized      BY Segun Adewole •   VIEWS 98

In a swift and crucial defensive operation, a US Navy ship successfully thwarted missiles and drones launched by Houthi rebels in Yemen, potentially aimed at Israel, the Pentagon confirmed on Thursday.

The Pentagon's spokesperson disclosed that a destroyer intercepted three "land-attack cruise missiles" and several drones that had been launched from Yemen, with a possible trajectory directed towards targets in Israel. This incident marks a significant development in the ongoing conflict in Yemen, with Houthi rebels frequently launching attacks across international borders. The interception by the U.S. Navy underscores the ongoing regional security challenges and the need for a robust defence against such threats. The U.S. Navy's capability to neutralize the threat posed by missiles and drones demonstrates the effectiveness of its defences and its commitment to safeguarding the interests of its allies in the region. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the volatile situation in Yemen and the potential impact of such attacks on regional stability. It highlights the need for international efforts to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict and prevent further escalations that could have far-reaching consequences. Meanwhile, the US currently maintains two fleets in the East Mediterranean Sea to ward off any party that might want to wade into the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
