U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Tuesday that the U.S. will stop airstrikes against Yemen's Houthi rebels after the group agreed to cease attacks on key shipping routes in the Middle East.
The Houthi group in Yemen claimed responsibility for a series of missile and drone attacks, targeting Ben Gurion airport in Israel and U.S. warships in the Red Sea.
A Houthi missile targeted Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport on Thursday, triggering sirens across Israel. The missile was intercepted, with no serious injuries reported.

The U.S. has vowed to maintain airstrikes against Yemen's Houthi rebels, until they stop targeting international shipping. This commitment comes as U.S. forces carry out ongoing operations in the region.
The US has vowed to keep striking Yemen’s Houthis until they stop attacks on shipping, as the Iran-aligned group signalled potential escalation following US airstrikes that reportedly killed at least 31 people.
