SpaceWar.com reports: “The Israeli military on Monday said that it had intercepted a missile launched from Yemen before it crossed into Israeli territory.
Yemen’s Iran-backed Huthi rebels have been firing missiles and drones at Israel and ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden in what they describe as solidarity with Palestinians since the war in the Gaza Strip broke out in October of last year.
In recent weeks, they have claimed to have fired several missiles at Israel, triggering retaliatory strikes from Israel targeting the rebels’ strategic assets and infrastructure.
‘Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in central Israel, a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted by the IAF (air force) prior to crossing into Israeli territory,’ the Israeli military said in a statement.
Israel’s emergency service provider, Magen David Adom, reported that it had received no reports of any casualties so far.
On Saturday, Israel intercepted a similar missile launched from Yemen…”
