The Israeli military reported intercepting two drones launched from Yemen, marking the second such attack since the U.S.-Israeli war began. The Houthis' involvement escalates the Middle East conflict, with Israel conducting airstrikes on Tehran targeting military infrastructure.
Oil prices surged above $116 per barrel following an escalation in the Iran-Israel conflict, intensified by missile and drone attacks launched by Iran-backed Houthi militants over the weekend.
The Israeli military detected a missile fired from Yemen, marking the first such launch since the Gaza war began, raising regional escalation fears.
