Sirens wail in Israeli-occupied territories as Yemen launches fresh missile attack
Air raid sirens have been activated in the Israeli-occupied territories following the launch of a ballistic missile by the Yemeni Armed Forces in retaliation for the occupying regime’s genocidal war on Gaza.
According to Israeli media outlets, the fresh missile attack from Yemen sounded sirens in some parts of the central sector of the occupied lands, as well as the southern West Bank, early on Sunday.
Sirens were activated in Ramla, Be’er Ya’akov, Lod, Rehovot, and Modi’in in the Shephelah region, as well as in settlements in Lachish and the West Bank, the Ynet news website reported.
There were reports of multiple explosions in the central areas of the occupied territories. Local sources said the blasts were likely caused by interception attempts targeting the missile.

Israeli media also confirmed that airspace over Ben Gurion Airport was temporarily closed following the Yemeni missile launch, reflecting the heightened security alert within the Israeli-occupied territories.
The missile attack caused widespread panic among illegal settlers, pushing thousands of them to seek refuge in bomb shelters.
Israel’s Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency response service did not report any direct injuries from the attack or impacts from debris.
The military later claimed that its anti-air missile systems “intercepted” the projectile.
In response to the escalating genocidal war on Gaza, which began in October 2023, Yemeni forces implemented a strategic maritime blockade aimed at disrupting the supply of military resources to Israel and urging the international community to address the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Simultaneously, they carried out numerous missile and drone strikes against strategic targets within the Israeli-occupied territories in solidarity with Palestinians enduring around two years of relentless war.
The Yemeni Armed Forces have made it clear that they will not halt their operations until Israel ceases its ground and aerial offensives in Gaza.
The devastating Israeli war has resulted in the deaths of more than 67,000 Palestinians so far, the majority of whom are women and children.
