Israel's air defenses successfully intercepted two ballistic missiles launched by Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen, according to the military. The IDF confirmed that the missiles were shot down before crossing Israel's borders, and fortunately, there are no immediate reports of injuries or damage. Sirens blared across central Israel, Jerusalem, and surrounding towns, as well as in several West Bank settlements, signaling the attack. This incident marks the seventh Houthi attack on Israel since March 18, when the IDF resumed its offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. It's worth noting that this isn't the first time Israel has intercepted missiles launched by the Houthis. In a similar incident on October 7, the Israeli Air Force intercepted a missile launched towards Israeli territory by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.
