TEL AVIV, Israel — The rockets from Gaza have mostly fallen silent. A ceasefire with Hezbollah militants in Lebanon has taken hold. But repeated fire from Yemen’s Houthi rebels, a faraway foe, is proving a stubborn threat for Israel.

The Houthis, who are backed by Iran, have targeted commercial ships in the Red Sea in solidarity with Hamas in Gaza. They launched a missile at Israel overnight.

Israel's devastating campaigns against Iran's regional allies have severely weakened its arch-enemy's ability to project its power, but Yemen's Tehran-backed Huthi rebels remain a stubborn thorn in its side,

The US military fired multiple strikes against the Houthi rebels in Yemen, the latest escalation against the Iran-backed terror group plaguing the Red Sea. American navy ships targeted Houthi command posts and weapons depots on Dec.

The targets struck by U.S. forces had been used to attack American warships and commercial vessels, officials said.

Israeli strikes killed at least 42 people in Gaza, including children, overnight and into Friday, hospital and emergency response workers said, as health workers and Israel's military traded claims over reported evacuation orders for two hospitals in the territory's largely isolated north.

Sirens sounded across Israel for missiles fired from Yemen.

The Israeli military reported three rockets targetinh its territory on Friday from the Gaza Strip, where Palestinian rescuers said Israeli air strikes killed at least 16 people, including children. The rockets were the latest in a spate of launches by militants in the devastated Palestinian territory,

Amid Middle Eastern ceasefires, Houthi rebels from Yemen persist in missile attacks on Israel, frustrating its defenses and escalating tensions. The attacks, supported by Iran, disrupt Israeli ports and air traffic,
