    On December 16, 2024, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reported that an Israeli Navy missile ship successfully intercepted a drone launched from Yemen over the Mediterranean Sea. The drone was neutralized before it could enter Israeli airspace. This incident was followed by the activation of sirens across central Israel, including Tel Aviv, due to a ballistic missile launched from Yemen, attributed to the Houthi movement. The missile was intercepted by Israeli air defenses before it could reach Israeli territory. The IDF confirmed that alerts were triggered in several areas, and millions of Israelis were forced to seek shelter. The Houthis later claimed responsibility for the missile strike, stating that they targeted a military site in the occupied Jaffa area with a hypersonic missile. In response to the ongoing attacks, Israeli officials indicated that the country is preparing to strike back against the Houthis in Yemen, marking a significant escalation in regional tensions.
