Houthi terrorists in Yemen launched a ballistic missile toward Israel early Saturday morning, the Israel Defense Forces said.
“An interceptor was launched toward the missile, and the missile was most likely successfully intercepted,” the IDF said in a statement.
The attack triggered air-raid sirens across the central, western and southern Negev, as well as in the Arava and Dead Sea areas, and parts of Judea.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
The IDF on Wednesday afternoon intercepted a drone launched toward Israel by Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen.
“The UAV did not enter the country’s territory. No alerts were activated, in accordance with policy,” the military stated.
Earlier on Wednesday, senior Houthi official Hazam al-Asad took to social media to congratulate “the Islamic Republic of Iran and all the free people of the nation” following the ceasefire that ended 12 days of war with Israel.
“True victory is to adopt the cause of supporting Palestine, to confront the American hegemony, to stand against the Zionist entity, to thwart its goals, as well as to strike deep into its core without hesitation, without concern for calculations or losses,” al-Asad wrote.
