The Israeli army said on Saturday, 28, that an Yemen fired missile towards the territory of Israel was “most likely successfully intercepted,” according to information released by Reuters news agency.
The launch was claimed by the Hethis, a group of rebels supported by Iran, and targeted an area of beersba in southern Israel. About a week ago, a hospital in the same city was the target of a missile released by Iran.
Also according to the agency, the rebel group says attack Israel in solidarity with the Gaza Strip. The Israeli government has warned that it could impose naval and air blockade on Yemen if the attacks persist.

In the X (former Twitter), Israel’s defense forces (IDF) reported that emergency sirens sounded in the south of the country after the launch of projectiles from Yemen.
The war in Gaza began when terrorists led by Hamas attacked southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapping 251.
Since then, the Houthis, a group that controls part of the Yemen, have attacked ships in the Red Sea, causing serious interruptions on a major commercial route, and have shot Israel with drones and missiles.

Earlier this month, the Israeli Navy attacked the docks of the Hodeida port city in Yemen, controlled by the Houthis. It was the first time Israel’s forces were involved in direct attacks against the rebels.
