Sirens Blare Again as Houthis Target Southern Israel
The Israeli military said Saturday that it had likely intercepted a ballistic missile launched from Yemen toward the southern city of Beersheba. The attack was claimed by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi group, which has been targeting Israel with drones and missiles since the start of the Gaza war in October 2023.
Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the group had aimed at a “sensitive Israeli enemy target” and claimed the strike was successful. Israeli authorities reported no casualties or damage.
