A missile fired by the Houthi terrorist organization fell in the city of Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, army radio reported Sunday morning.
The IDF is investigating whether the missile was aimed at Israel.
This comes after the United States struck Houthi targets in Yemen on Saturday evening in what a US official described to The Jerusalem Post as a message to Iran at a time when the administration is proposing to open negotiations on its nuclear program.
The strikes will last "days, possible weeks," a different official told Reuters.
The Houthi-run health ministry reported that the US strikes killed over 23 people and wounded more than 20 others.
Trump commends the attack and threatens the Houthis
US President Donald Trump wrote on his Truth Social account that “today, I have ordered the United States military to launch decisive and powerful military action against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen. They have waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American, and other, ships, aircraft, and drones.”Trump also slammed his predecessor, former president Joe Biden, for his “pathetically weak” handling of the Houthi threat.
“Funded by Iran, the Houthi thugs have fired missiles at US aircraft and targeted our troops and allies. These relentless assaults have cost the US and world economy many billions of dollars while, at the same time, putting innocent lives at risk,” the president stressed.
“The Houthi attack on American vessels will not be tolerated,” Trump wrote. “We will use overwhelming lethal force until we have achieved our objective. The Houthis have choked off shipping in one of the most important waterways of the world, grinding vast swaths of global commerce to a halt, and attacking the core principle of freedom of navigation upon which international trade and commerce depends.”
