The U.S. Navy intercepted several missiles fired near the coast of Yemen on Wednesday, two U.S. told Fox News.
It was unclear what the missiles were targeting.
One official said the missile were fired from Iranian backed Houthi militants. Iran has provided the Houthi rebels with weapons amid a crippling war in Yemen.
Bring. Gen. Pat Ryder said during a press conference at the Pentagon on Thursday that the missiles were heading “potentially towards targets in Israel.”
Fox News’ Liz Friden contributed to this report.
