The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced they intercepted a missile launched from Yemen on Monday evening, triggering alarm sirens in central Israel. Debris fell in the city of Beit Shemesh near Jerusalem, although no damage was reported. This follows previous Israeli strikes against Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen, seen as retaliatory actions for the ongoing missile attacks against Israel, which is concerned about Iran’s backing of the Houthis. The Israeli ambassador to the UN warned the Houthis to cease their attacks or face dire consequences similar to those experienced by Hamas and Hezbollah.
