The Israeli military successfully intercepted multiple ballistic missiles launched from Yemen, targeting central Israel, including Tel Aviv. The missiles, reportedly fired by the Houthis' Ansar Allah, triggered sirens and high alerts across the region. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) used the Arrow missile defense system to intercept the incoming threats, preventing any reported casualties or damage. Flights at Ben Gurion Airport have resumed normal operations. The Houthis have claimed responsibility for the attack, stating their intent to continue military operations against Israel until attacks on Gaza and Lebanon cease. The Houthis mentioned the use of a Palestine-2 missile and a Jaffa drone in their operations.
