Fox News correspondent Alex Hogan reports that Iran says they will launch a \u2018severe\u2019 attack on Israel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on Monday that American forces<\/a> recently destroyed three uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) belonging to Houthis.<\/p>\n

CENTCOM said that the drones were launched from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen over the Gulf of Aden. The weapons were all destroyed between Sunday evening and Monday evening.<\/p>\n

CENTCOM added that U.S. forces also destroyed three other weapons and vessels belonging to the Houthis within the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n

“Separately, USCENTCOM forces successfully destroyed one Houthi uncrewed surface vessel (USV), one Houthi uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) and one Houthi anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) in the Red Sea,” the press release continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

CENTCOM said that the weapons “presented a clear and imminent threat to U.S. and coalition forces, and merchant vessels in the region.”<\/p>\n

“This reckless and dangerous behavior by Iranian-backed Houthis continues to threaten regional stability and security,” the statement added.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Monday, a senior U.S. official confirmed that a U.S. drone strike in Iraq killed a Houthi drone specialist on July 30. The confirmation came after “several” U.S. personnel were injured in a suspected rocket attack at the Ain al-Asad<\/u><\/a> air base.<\/p>\n

“Base personnel are conducting a post-attack damage assessment,” the official told Fox News. “We will provide updates as more information becomes available.”<\/p>\n

Tensions in the Middle East have been escalating between Israel and its adversaries since the Hezbollah attack<\/a> on kids running across a soccer field in the Golan Heights killed a dozen, and the death of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. On Monday, CENTCOM commander Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla met with<\/a> the Israel Defense Forces’ (IDF) Chief of the General Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi.<\/p>\n
