Israeli Army Says It Is Working to Intercept Missile Launched From Yemen
- On Saturday morning, Yemen's Houthi forces launched a ballistic missile toward southern Israel, and the Israeli army said it likely intercepted it successfully.
- The missile launch came four days after a ceasefire ended a 12-day war between Israel and Iran, during which the Houthis intermittently attacked Israel in solidarity with Gaza.
- Sirens warning of incoming missiles triggered alerts across southern Israel, including Beersheba and Dead Sea areas, while Israel prepared defense systems to intercept the threat.
- Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree claimed responsibility, saying the group fired toward Beersheba, while Magen David Adom reported no injuries and the Home Front Command declared the event over.
- The attack underscores ongoing tensions with Yemen's Houthis, whom Israel has threatened with blockades if attacks persist, reflecting continued conflict spillover despite recent ceasefire efforts.
