The Israeli military successfully intercepted multiple surface-to-surface ballistic missiles launched from Yemen towards central Israel, including Tel Aviv, on the night of September 26, 2024. The missiles, reportedly fired by the Iran-backed Houthi group, triggered air-raid sirens and high alerts across wide areas, including as far south as Lachish. The interception was carried out by Israel's Arrow missile defense system, preventing any casualties or damage. Flights at Ben Gurion Airport, which had been temporarily halted, have since resumed. The incident underscores the ongoing regional tensions and the capability of Israel's defense systems.
