ALBAWABA- Air raid sirens sounded across Jerusalem and the greater Tel Aviv area following a missile launch from Yemen, according to the Israeli military.
3 Israeli soldiers killed as Qassam Brigades strike forces and base in Gaza amid ongoing assaultThe Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that they detected the missile and activated their air defense systems in response.
This marks the second missile fired from Yemen within 24 hours that has forced a halt to flights at Ben Gurion Airport, causing significant disruption to air travel and raising alarm across central Israel.
The launch follows a direct warning from the Houthi-run Supreme Political Council Head in Yemen.
In a recent statement, the council's president, Mahdi Al-Mashat, urged all foreign companies operating in Israel to leave immediately, threatening that damage would not be limited and vowing to escalate strikes against Israeli targets.
The Houthis have pledged to continue air and maritime operations against what they called “the invading entity” unless Israel lifts its blockade on Gaza and allows humanitarian aid to reach its people.
In response to earlier Houthi strikes, Israel has carried out multiple attacks on key infrastructure in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, targeting airports, ports, and other strategic sites, many of which serve as critical lifelines for millions of Yemenis.
