The U.S. THAAD system has successfully intercepted a Houthi ballistic missile aimed at Israel, marking its first-ever interception on Israeli soil. The missile was neutralized with help from Israel's Arrow defense system. Deployed in October 2024, THAAD, developed by Lockheed Martin, is designed to destroy short- and medium-range ballistic missiles during their final flight phase, strengthening Israel's defense against threats, particularly from Iran-backed groups like the Houthis.

On December 27, 2024, US and UK airstrikes targeted the Ma'een district in Sanaa, Yemen, causing widespread concern but no reported casualties. In response, the Ansarullah movement, which has been engaged in a long-standing conflict with Israel, vowed to intensify attacks. These strikes followed a series of Israeli airstrikes on Yemen's infrastructure, leading to further protests in Yemen's capital and other regions. The escalating violence is tied to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza, with Yemen's support for Palestinians fueling these retaliatory actions.
