On Friday, a ballistic missile launched from Yemen was intercepted over Israel, according to the military, as air raid sirens were activated across Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and the Dead Sea region.
Israel’s Air Force announced on X that its defense systems had neutralized the threat, marking the 15th missile fired from Yemen within a month.
