Houthi Ballistic Missile Intercepted in Central Israel

A ballistic missile fired by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels landed in central Israel on Sunday, triggering air raid sirens and causing residents to rush to shelters. The missile fragmented upon interception by Israeli defense systems, with parts falling in an open area and a train station, causing no major injuries or damage. Houthi leaders claimed the missile was hypersonic and threatened more attacks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed a strong military response. This incident is part of ongoing hostilities between Israel and the Houthis, who have launched several attacks in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
