Latest Updates On Yemen, 12 April 2025

1- Saada:
– On April 3, American drones attacked a passenger vehicle in the Al-Jamleh area of the Majaz district in Saada province. It remains unclear whether this attack was aimed at commanders or members of Ansar Allah. However, it indicates that American efforts to gather intelligence on senior Ansar Allah members and to carry out assassinations are intensifying.

– On April 11, the Saudi coalition conducted artillery attacks in the Shada district.

– On April 11, artillery from the Saudi coalition targeted border villages in the Baqim district.

2- On April 14, some Israeli media outlets reported that American forces stationed in Saudi Arabia successfully countered a missile attack launched by the Yemeni armed forces against occupied territories. The missile was intercepted in Saudi Arabia with support from Saudi air defense systems. These media outlets expressed gratitude to Arab countries for their cooperation in repelling Yemeni attacks.

3- The National Interest magazine published a critical report on the performance of the U.S. military in the Red Sea, stating, “Washington has failed to maintain freedom of navigation in one of the world’s most important choke points.”

As an American investigative media outlet focusing on international relations, The National Interest described the situation in the Red Sea as precarious due to attacks by Yemeni armed forces.

The report added, “The Navy, having lost its position as the ‘world’s largest navy,’ is seeking new methods to counter drones and anti-ship missiles. Traditional aircraft carriers and warships, outfitted with costly and sophisticated fighter jets and missile systems, are inadequate for this new era of warfare.”

The naval operations of Yemeni armed forces against the Israeli regime, which have included closing the port of Eilat and halting Israeli shipping in the Red Sea, have inflicted significant losses on the United States. More serious consequences are anticipated for both the U.S. and European nations, increasing domestic pressure on the Trump administration to continue military actions in Yemen.

4- On April 9, U.S. defense systems, with assistance from Saudi Arabia, successfully countered a ballistic missile attack originating from Yemen. This missile was aimed at positions of the Israeli regime in occupied Palestine and ultimately landed in northern Saudi Arabia.

5- On April 11, in response to a call from the leader of Ansar Allah to resume weekly marches supporting Palestine, the Yemeni people organized a march titled “Jihad, Steadfastness, and Courage: We Will Not Abandon Gaza” in the cities of Sana’a, Sa’ada, Al-Hudaydah, and others. In the final statement of the march, the Yemeni people emphasized the need for general mobilization and the activation of an economic boycott against American and Israeli goods.

8- The American media outlet Media Line reported on the impact of Yemeni missile attacks on Israeli tourism, stating:

“With the end of the short ceasefire in Gaza, Israel’s tourism industry is once again on the verge of collapse. The Passover holiday presents a good opportunity to travel to Israel, but the renewed attacks from Yemen threaten this sector. The Houthis’ explicit announcement of a flight ban at Ben Gurion Airport disrupts airline operations, placing the tourism industry in a precarious situation.”

Additionally, the media outlet interviewed Mark Feldman, CEO of Zion Tours, a travel agency in occupied Jerusalem. He commented, “Foreign airlines have confirmed that if missiles fall on Ben Gurion Airport again, they will immediately leave Israel. The Houthis know what they are doing. They are targeting Ben Gurion Airport to harm Israel economically and psychologically, and unfortunately, they have succeeded so far.”
