Dozen settlers injured as Yemeni missile hits Israeli target
Yemen has launched a missile attack on Israel in solidarity with the Palestinians amid the occupying regime’s ongoing war on the besieged Gaza Strip.
Air raid sirens sounded in the center and south of the occupied territories early Friday as a missile crossed into the territories.
Israel's military claimed that the missile “was intercepted”, citing reports about shrapnel from the interception that fell in the area of Modi'in.
However, a video shared on social media showed the missile fired from Yemen hitting an Israeli target.

Israel's emergency service provider, Magen David Adom, reported that 12 people required treatment for injuries sustained in the rush to bomb shelters and nine suffered anxiety attacks.
Yemeni officials have not yet commented on the missile operation.
Since the onset of Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip in October 2023, Yemeni forces have carried out scores of operations in support of the war-hit Gazans, striking targets throughout the occupied Palestinian territories, in addition to targeting Israeli ships or vessels heading towards ports in the occupied territories.
Israel launched a genocidal war on Gaza on October 7, 2023 after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in response to the Israeli regime's decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.
The regime’s bloody onslaught on Gaza has so far killed at least 45,581 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured more than 108,438 others. Thousands more are also missing and presumed dead under rubble.
