Israel reported that a missile launched from Yemen fragmented in mid-air after air raid sirens were triggered in several regions. The militant Houthi group in Yemen claimed responsibility, stating it had conducted three operations against Israel, including firing a ballistic missile toward Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv. Israeli aerial defense systems attempted to intercept the missile, and no injuries were reported. The group, which controls much of Yemen, has frequently targeted Israel and shipping lanes, citing solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. Most of the attacks have been intercepted or have not reached their targets, and Israel has responded with retaliatory strikes.
