Israel's military said a missile was launched from Yemen and intercepted, and the Houthis said they targeted 'sensitive' sites in the Jaffa area and declared a 'complete and absolute ban' on Israeli maritime navigation in the Red Sea, saying any Israeli vessel would be a military target. An Israeli military official said the Houthis fired two missiles; no casualties were reported.

Why it matters

It was the Houthis' first attack since the April 8 ceasefire, and it revived the threat to Red Sea shipping that Iranian officials had said the group was weighing.
