The Israeli army intercepted a missile launched by the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen before it entered Israeli airspace, according to a statement from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

The attack triggered widespread panic, with sirens sending millions to shelters. Local media reported that 18 people sustained injuries while fleeing. Security warnings also caused delays at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, where four flights experienced a 30-minute delay in landings.

The retaliatory strike from the Houthis highlights escalating tensions, and the moments of panic were captured by amateur cameras.
