NAZARETH (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Israeli army said it intercepted a missile launched from Yemen before it crossed the border at dawn Saturday. The missile was launched hours after the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, was hit by fresh strikes on Friday.
The Houthi group announced on Friday the launch of missiles at military targets in Tel Aviv and the targeting of a ship in the Arabian Sea, most notably the targeting of Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv with a hypersonic ballistic missile, which led to injuries and the suspension of navigation at the airport.
Air raid sirens sounded in central Israel, the Negev, the Jerusalem area, and the Dead Sea at dawn on Saturday after a missile was launched from Yemen, according to the Israeli army.
This is the fifth attack launched by the Houthi group since last Saturday, according to the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth.
The launch of the Yemeni missile came hours after Sana’a was hit by fresh airstrikes.
The group also announced the successful hitting of another vital target in Tel Aviv with a drone, as well as the Santo Ursula ship with a number of drones in the Arabian Sea to the east of Socotra Island “because the owner company breached the entry ban decision that prohibits entry into the ports of 1948 occupied Palestine (Israel).”
The Israeli army launched raids on Yemen last Thursday, targeting Sana’a International Airport and Al-Dailami Air Base, focusing on the control tower, the airport runway, and the departure hall, in addition to civilian aircraft inside the airport. It also targeted for the second time the Haziz power station south of Sana’a.
