US Navy intercepts drones and missiles ‘possibly’ fired at Israel from Yemen

According to the Pentagon, a US Navy destroyer destroyed three missiles and a number of drones on Thursday that had been launched from Yemen and were traveling north.

The USS Carney, a Navy destroyer in the northern Red Sea, intercepted three ground assault cruise missiles and a number of drones that were launched by Houthi forces in Yemen, according to Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, the Pentagon’s press secretary, who made the announcement to reporters on Thursday. They were shot down over the ocean, he claimed.

“We cannot say for certain what these missiles and drones were targeting, but they were launched from Yemen heading north along the Red Sea, potentially towards targets in Israel,” Ryder said during a Pentagon briefing. According to a US official, they don’t think the missiles were pointed at the ship. That official discussed military activities that had not yet been publicized while requesting anonymity.

Missiles were shot down

The missiles were shot down, according to Ryder, because they “posed a potential threat” based on their flight profile, and the US is ready to take whatever action is necessary “to protect our partners and our interests in this important region.” The target is still being evaluated, he claimed, by the US.

Iranian-backed Houthi rebels have expressed support for the Palestinians and threatened Israel. Last week, in Yemen’s Sanaa, which is held by the Houthi rebels still at war with a Saudi-led coalition. Demonstrators crowded the streets waving Yemeni and Palestinian flags. The rebels’ slogan long has been, “God is the greatest; death to America; death to Israel; curse of the Jews; victory to Islam.”
