Sirens Blare in Jerusalem: Yemen's Houthis Escalate Attack on Israel -IDF Intercepts Deadly Missile

Tensions between Yemen and Israel have reached new heights as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) successfully intercepted a missile fired from Yemen early this Saturday. The missile triggered sirens in Jerusalem, the southern West Bank, and the Dead Sea areas, sending Israelis scrambling for shelter. This marks the sixth missile attack in less than two weeks, highlighting the ongoing threat posed by Yemen's Houthi rebels. The attack also involved a US missile defense system, deployed in Israel, which played a role in the interception. The Houthis, claiming responsibility, insist their missile struck a target at Israel’s Negev Airbase. With missile and drone attacks becoming a nightly occurrence, the situation is escalating rapidly. #YemenMissileAttack #IDFIntercepts #IsraeliDefense #HouthiRebels #JerusalemUnderAttack #MiddleEastConflict #IsraeliAirDefense #MissileIntercept #YemenIsraelConflict #HouthiMissile Also Read EXPLAINED | Is Yemen The Next Battleground In Israel's Campaign Against Iranian-backed Militias? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/explained-is-yemen-the-next-battleground-in-israels-campaign-against-iranian-backed-militias-4026285.html?ref=DMDesc Major World Events In 2024: Top 10 Moments That Shaped The Year! :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/major-world-events-in-2024-top-10-moments-that-shaped-the-year-global-natural-disaster-syria-4021587.html?ref=DMDesc Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu Confirms Troop Presence in Syrian Buffer Zone for Security Reasons :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-occupation-buffer-zone-syria-security-011-4018801.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~ED.346~HT.336~GR.121~
