Houthi Missile Fired at Central Israel

On Sunday morning, a missile fired by Yemen's Houthi rebels triggered air raid sirens across central Israel, prompting widespread alarm. The Israeli military confirmed that the surface-to-surface missile fell in an unpopulated area, causing no injuries. Speculation arose regarding the type of missile, with discussions about whether it was a cruise or ballistic missile, and whether it was intercepted by Israel's air defense systems, including Arrow and Iron Dome. The opposition party Yesh Atid criticized the government for the incident, calling it a 'national disaster'. This missile attack follows previous incidents, including a drone strike from Yemen in July that resulted in casualties and Israeli retaliatory strikes. The attack raises serious questions about Israel's missile detection and interception capabilities.
