The Israeli military intercepted a missile launched from Yemen, identified as the 'Palestine 2', which triggered air raid sirens across various regions in the Israeli-occupied territories, including the West Bank, the Jordan Valley, and the Afula area. The missile was accompanied by four drones targeting the Jaffa area, according to Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the interception occurred before the missile entered Israeli airspace. No immediate reports of injuries or damage were mentioned, but flights at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv were suspended and redirected due to the incident. The Houthis, supported by Iran, have intensified their attacks on Israel in response to the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
