Israeli army intercepts missile fired from Yemen

Israel’s military claims it intercepted a missile fired from Yemen early Thursday morning, in what it alleges is the latest strike linked to Yemen’s Houthi movement.

Sirens blared across parts of central Israel as the projectile approached, though no injuries were reported. The Houthis, who have not yet claimed responsibility for this latest launch, have previously stated that their missile campaign is a show of solidarity with Palestinians facing Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza.

Despite repeated Israeli air raids on Yemen, including strikes earlier this month on Sanaa airport and key Red Sea ports, the Houthis appear undeterred. While they say they’ve paused attacks on US targets, their warnings to Israel have not slowed.
