Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday called antisemitism a global "disease" affecting the world, including on U.S. campuses, which Congress is working to combat. The U.S. is also targeting the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen as they continue launching missiles at Israel.

Israelis ran for cover Thursday afternoon as two more missiles were fired from Yemen in the middle of the day targeting Jerusalem and central Israel. Interceptors shot both of them down.

The U.S. continues to urge Israel not to strike back at the Houthis, instead allowing American forces to respond. For two weeks, the U.S. has been carrying out air and missile strikes against the Iranian-backed group to stop attacks on Israel and on global shipping passing through the Red Sea.

President Donald Trump weighed in from the Oval Office, remarking, "The Houthis have been horrible to the world, what they’ve done, killed a lot of people. They’ve knocked down a lot of ships and planes.”
