A missile launched from Yemen was intercepted by Israel’s air defense system, according to the Israeli military. The attack, claimed by Iranian-backed Houthi forces, targeted Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv.
Sirens sounded across Jerusalem, the West Bank, and southern Israel around 9:00 p.m., prompting millions to seek shelter. No injuries or damage were reported.
This marks the fourth missile attack from Yemen on Israel within a week, as the Houthis say they are retaliating for Israeli actions in Palestine.
