[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Hebrew media reported that air raid sirens sounded in several areas and settlements on Friday evening, following a missile launched from Yemen toward the occupied Palestinian territories.

The so-called ''Home Front Command'' in the Israeli entity reported that air raid sirens sounded in occupied Jerusalem, Yaffa (Tel Aviv), and other cities following the detection of a missile launched from Yemen.

Israeli Channel 12 confirmed that air traffic was suspended at Lod Airport (Ben Gurion) due to a missile launched from Yemen.

IDF intercepts ballistic missile fired by Yemen’s Houthis; no injuries

[IsraelTimes] Missile launch, the 66th by the Iran-backed rebels since Gaza truce ended in March, comes day after Israel targeted Houthi-controlled port

The Iran-backed Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...

fired a ballistic missile at Israel on Tuesday, which the Israel Defense Forces successfully intercepted, the military said.
The attack set off sirens across central Israel and the Jerusalem area, alerting millions to enter shelters or protected rooms.

There were no reports of impacts or injuries.

The Houthi rebels — who control a large part of Yemen, including its capital Sanaa, but are not the country’s internationally recognized government — took responsibility for the missile launch, claiming to have targeted Ben Gurion Airport.

Tuesday’s attack was the first such incident since the Houthis fired a ballistic missile at Israel on Friday night. That missile, too, was intercepted successfully.

On Monday, Israeli Air Force drones struck Yemen’s Houthi-controlled Hodeida port in response to the Iran-backed group’s continued attacks.

The army said in a statement that the Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s destroyed "military infrastructure of the Houthi terror regime" at the western Yemen port, after attempts were made by the Houthis to repair areas previously targeted by Israel in response to missile and drone attacks.

Monday’s sortie marked the thirteenth time Israel has attacked Yemen, located some 1,800 kilometers away.
