A ballistic missile launched from Yemen has triggered sirens in dozens of towns and cities in the al-Quds area as well as the southern Negev.
Israel’s Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency response service said one person suffering from shock, according to Channel 12 news.
The Israeli military claimed that its anti-air missile systems intercepted and shot down the projectile before it crossed into the skies over the occupied territories.

The latest Yemeni missile launch came hours after the US-British naval coalition launched a fresh airstrike on the Arab nation’s capital of Sana’a on Friday night, targeting the 1st Armor Division in the city.
Yemen’s al-Masirah television channel reported that the airstrike shook the whole city and ambulances were heard rushing to the targeted site.
Yemeni authorities have yet to disclose any information regarding possible casualties and losses.
Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched its devastating war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, after the territory’s resistance movements carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Flood against the occupying entity.
Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement has been also targeting ships linked to Israel, the United States, or the United Kingdom to force an end to the Tel Aviv regime’s genocidal war on Gaza.
These operations have effectively shut down the Eilat port south of the occupied territories, causing significant economic setbacks for the Israelis.
The Yemeni armed forces have said they will not stop their attacks until Israel’s ground and aerial offensives in Gaza end.
So far, Israel has killed at least 45,736 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured another 108,038 individuals in Gaza.
