Earlier today, Israeli air defenses successfully intercepted a ballistic missile launched by Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen, according to a statement from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
The missile was neutralized before it could enter Israeli territory, preventing any injuries or property damage.
Following the launch, warning sirens were activated across several communities south of the Dead Sea, alerting residents to seek shelter. Fortunately, no casualties or infrastructure damage were reported.
This latest missile attack highlights the growing threats facing Israel from Iranian proxy groups across the region, including the Houthis, who have increased their hostile activities in recent months.
The IDF remains on high alert to counter further threats and ensure the safety of Israeli citizens.
