Air raid sirens echoed throughout Yerushalayim and across central regions of Israel on Tuesday evening following the launch of a missile from Yemen aimed at the country.
According to the IDF, the missile was successfully neutralized in mid-air by the Israeli Air Force using the Arrow missile defense system. Authorities reported that no injuries occurred as a result of the attempted strike.
In response to the incident, Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu is set to gather the political-security cabinet in Yerushalayim on Motzoei Shabbos. The meeting will focus on ongoing discussions surrounding the proposed hostage agreement and the continued military campaign in Gaza.
Reacting to the missile threat, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee shared his thoughts on social media: “We thought we were done with missiles coming to Israel, but Houthis just lit one up over us in Israel. Fortunately, Israel’s incredible interception system means we go to the shelter & wait until all clear. Maybe those B2 bombers need to visit Yemen!”
