Israel Intercepts Missile Fired from Yemen's Houthi Rebels

The Israeli military successfully intercepted a missile targeting central Israel, amid ongoing regional tensions.

The missile, fired by the Iran-backed Houthi movement in Yemen, triggered air raid sirens across central Israel.
Residents in central Israel were sent running for shelter as the missile threat unfolded.
The Houthi group claimed responsibility, stating they launched two missiles, identifying them as Palestine 2 and Dhu al-Fiqar.
Israel confirmed the interception of one missile but did not comment on the Houthi's claim of a second missile or drone attacks.
The Houthi movement has repeatedly targeted Israel over the past year, citing support for Palestinians in Gaza.
