This handout picture courtesy of the US Navy taken on October 19, 2023 shows the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Carney (DDG 64) defeating a combination of Houthi missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles in the Red Sea. – A US Navy ship in the Red Sea on October 19, 2023 shot down missiles and drones that had been fired by Iran-backed Huthi rebels in Yemen, possibly at Israel, the Pentagon said. Three „land-attack cruise missiles and several drones“ were intercepted by a destroyer, Pentagon spokesman Brigadier General Pat Ryder told reporters. The attack was „launched by Huthi forces in Yemen“ potentially toward targets in Israel, he added. Thousands of civilians, both Palestinians and Israelis, have died since October 7, 2023, after Palestinian Hamas militants based in the Gaza Strip entered southern Israel in an unprecedented attack triggering a war declared by Israel on Hamas with retaliatory bombings on Gaza.
