The Israeli army announced on Saturday that it had detected a missile launch from Yemen targeting Israeli territory.
IDF made a statement on X warning of projectile from Yemen. " Sirens sounding in southern Israel following projectile fire from Yemen," it said.
Additionally, Israel's aerial defense systems were activated to intercept the incoming threat. The launch prompted sirens to sound in several areas across southern Israel, alerting residents to the potential danger, as reported by Reuters.
The army communicated these developments via the Telegram messaging app. The interception efforts are ongoing as the military works to neutralize the threat.
This comes just weeks after Israel launched an attack on the docks in Hodeida, Yemen's port city, according to the Houthi rebels. The strike likely damaged facilities critical for aid shipments to the hungry, war-ravaged nation, according to report from the Associated Press.
Meanwhile, tensions were also heightened recently between Israel and Iran which also saw US involvement. Hostilities began on June 13 when Israel struck Iran's nuclear and military sites, ahead of renewed Washington-Tehran talks over Iran's nuclear programme.
The conflict ended on June 23, one day after the US launched Operation Midnight Hammer, to which Iran had responded by launching missiles at a US air base in Qatar.
