IDF Intercepts Houthi Missile from Yemen, Sirens Sound in Central Israel and Jerusalem
Jan 18, 2025, 08:29 AM
On January 18, 2025, sirens sounded across central Israel and Jerusalem following the launch of a ballistic missile from Yemen by the Houthis. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that the missile was successfully intercepted by Israeli air defenses outside of Israeli airspace. The alerts were triggered due to concerns over potential debris from the interception. No major injuries were reported, though some individuals were hurt while running for shelter and others experienced anxiety. In response to the attack, Ben-Gurion International Airport suspended flights to ensure no damage was caused to the runway, and a Royal Jordanian flight from Chicago to Amman was diverted away from Israeli airspace. The missile launch comes amidst ongoing tensions, with the Houthis having warned of continued attacks if Israel does not adhere to ceasefire terms in Gaza with Hamas.
