Israel claims to have intercepted another missile fired from Yemen

By Ahmed Asmar

The Israeli army on Friday claimed to have intercepted a missile fired from Yemen through its air defense systems.

Israeli media, including the Times of Israel news portal, reported that air-raid sirens were sounded in several areas across central Israel, with people receiving early warning mobile messages about the missile attack.

It added that the flight activity and operations at the Ben Gurion Airport, Israel's main airport, were halted at the time of the missile launch and resumed later.

There were no reports of injuries or damage from the missile attack, according to a military statement.

The Yemeni Houthi group, which fired several missiles and drones towards Israel in the past few weeks, is yet to comment on the attack.

According to Israeli media, the Houthi group has launched 28 ballistic missiles and dozens of drones at Israel since March 18, when Israel resumed its genocidal war on Gaza.
