Israeli Air Force Intercepts Missile From Yemen Amid Regional Tensions

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that a ballistic missile launched from Yemen was intercepted by the Israeli Air Force before it could enter Israeli airspace. Sirens and emergency alerts were activated across multiple regions, including Jerusalem, Ben Gurion Airport, and West Bank settlements, prompting residents to follow the Home Front Command’s safety guidelines. No injuries or damage have been reported, and authorities emphasize continued vigilance amid ongoing cross-border threats from Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. This missile launch is part of a series of attacks linked to the broader regional conflict involving Gaza and escalating tensions in the area. The IDF and other defense systems, such as the Arrow missile defense system, were credited with effectively neutralizing the threat. Officials remain on high alert as they monitor the situation closely.
