The U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions on Houthi illicit revenue and procurement networks today, September 11th, 2025. The announcement, made via the U.S. Embassy in Yemen's social media, aims to disrupt financial support for the Houthi movement. This action follows recent regional security incidents, including Israeli Air Force interceptions of aerial targets. The sanctions target networks involved in generating and acquiring funds and materials for the Houthi movement. This development from the U.S. Treasury Department contributes to ongoing international efforts to address regional security concerns. The U.S. Embassy in Yemen shared the announcement via their official X account. Separately, footage released by the Prime Minister's Office shows Elizabeth Tsurkov, who was freed after more than two years in captivity in Iraq, meeting her family at Sheba Hospital last night. Tsurkov was part of a prisoner exchange that also involved Hezbollah and was facilitated earlier today, September 11th, 2025. Previous reports from earlier today detailed the Israeli Air Force intercepting a suspicious aerial target near Ramon Airport around 1:30 PM UTC, which triggered sirens in Eilat and Be'er Ora. The IDF confirmed no injuries were reported. The military also intercepted unmanned aircraft launched from Yemen shortly before 12:16 PM UTC.
