On Saturday, the Israeli military also reported having detected a missile launched by Yemen, which was fired into Israeli territory. An official statement said that aerial defence equipment was engaged on the spot due to the threat, and sirens were raised in various parts of the country, which meant a possible attack.
Through the Telegram messaging site, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) gave an update saying it had detected the missile and that it was already undertaking the mission to intercept the projectile before it could do any damage. The nature and the kind of the missile are not disclosed, and there is still no record of causality and property damage as of the current time.
The attack is the most recent of tensions in the region, with the Houthi rebels in Yemen suspected of carrying out various long-range attacks in the past, often targeting Israel and other allies. The IDF did not specify the party that launched the Saturday attack, but it has been repeatedly issuing warnings of attacks aimed at Israel by Iran-linked forces, who operate in Yemen, Lebanon, Syria and Gaza.
The missile alert caused the civil defence sirens to sound in a number of regions in Israel, as the people went into hiding. There were also videos spread across social media platforms that showed streaks of light in the night sky, which were presumed to be interceptor missiles launched by Israeli Iron Dome or other air defences.
The Israeli officers reiterated that the security has been put on high alert and they are keenly watching the enemy’s actions outside of Israel. The region was already feeling the tension because of the conflict currently taking place in Gaza and the well-known hostilities between the country and Hezbollah in the north, and now there is another complication to the country’s security.
More information would be provided as the event unfolds and the military authorities evaluate the effect and the source of the missile launch.
