US Strikes Yemen After Houthis Fire Missiles & Drones at Aircraft Carrier Truman, Attack Israel

Debris from a Houthi missile landed near Jerusalem on December 31, 2024, with fragments scattered across Beit Shemesh, including on a balcony. A police sapper handled the shrapnel, according to local news. The largest piece landed in the middle of Nahal Hakishon Street, drawing a large crowd. Houthi spokesman Yahya Sarea confirmed the launch of two missiles at Israel, targeting Ben Gurion Airport and a power station south of Jerusalem. The Houthis also claimed responsibility for an attack on the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman. Despite Israel’s “final warning” to halt missile attacks, the Houthis vowed to continue their operations until the aggression against Gaza is stopped and the siege is lifted. US Central Command responded by targeting Houthi facilities, including missile production sites, in Yemen. The conflict continues with rising tensions between the Houthis, Israel and the US.
