Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed their first strike on Israel since the start of the Middle East war, after the Israeli military said it was intercepting an attack.

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.
