The THAAD battery was used in theater over the past couple of days, a US defense official confirmed to Business Insider.

Israel's ambassador to the United Nations issued on Monday what he called a final warning to Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi militants to halt their missile attacks on Israel, saying they otherwise risked the same "miserable fate" as Hamas,

Israel's UN Ambassador told the UN Security Council, 'This is not a threat. It is a promise. You will share the same fate as those who sought to destroy us.'
