IDF says air force downed Yemen missile before it entered Israeli airspace
The military says the missile fired from Yemen was downed by the air force before entering Israeli airspace.
A statement from the Israel Defense Forces says “the sirens were activated in accordance with protocol,” apparently due to concerns of falling debris.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service says it has received no direct reports of injuries from debris, though medics are treating several people suffering acute anxiety or who were hurt while rushing to shelters.
There is no immediate claim of responsibility for the missile attack, which comes after the Iran-backed Houthi rebel group vowed to resume attacking Israel in solidarity with its Palestinian ally Hamas amid the war in Gaza.
