Overview

• Sirens sounded in southern Israel after the Israel Defense Forces detected a missile launch from Yemen early on June 28.
• The army said its air defenses most likely intercepted the projectile before it reached Israeli territory, with no casualties or damage reported.
• Officials have not identified the launcher and no group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
• The strike occurred four days after a U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Iran took effect on June 24.
• Since October 2023, the Iran-backed Houthi movement has repeatedly targeted Israel and disrupted Red Sea shipping with drones and missiles.
