Shortly after the announcement, the Israeli military confirmed it had intercepted a missile fired from Yemen, stating that air raid sirens were activated in several regions as a precaution.

Israel has warned Ansarallah—which is aligned with Iran—of a potential air and naval blockade if the group continues launching attacks against Israel under the banner of solidarity with Gaza.
Since the Gaza war erupted in October 2023, the Houthis have repeatedly targeted Israel and disrupted maritime traffic in the Red Sea, prompting global concern over the security of international trade routes.
