Houthi rocket launches: Sirens heard across Israel

Sirens were heard today (Thursday) across the country following launches from Yemen. Two missiles were reportedly fired from Yemen and were intercepted outside of Israel. There are reports of multiple interception debris falling in the Mevo Horon area.

The IDF spokesperson stated: "Following alerts activated a short time ago in several areas of the state's territory, two missiles launched from Yemen were intercepted. The two missiles were intercepted before crossing into state territory, and the alerts were activated according to policy."

Last night, a failed launch was recorded in Yemen, with the missile fired towards Israel breaking apart en route. This is the second time in the last 24 hours that a failed launch by the Houthis has been reported.

The United Hatzalah spokesperson said: "Following the sirens heard across the country, United Hatzalah medical teams went out to scan several sites in central Israel where interception fragments were reported. Additionally: So far, United Hatzalah has received several calls about anxiety victims due to hearing the sirens."

As recalled, this morning the Houthis announced that they launched a ballistic missile towards Israel during the night, but the missile fell en route and did not reach its destination. This is not the first time this has happened, with the Houthis launching a missile to Israel in the past week that fell in Egypt and another missile that fell in Saudi Arabia.
