Houthi missile triggers sirens in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem area

Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists on Wednesday morning fired a ballistic missile at Israel, triggering air-raid alerts across the country’s densely-populated center, including Tel Aviv and the Jerusalem area.

“Following the alerts that were activated a short time ago in several areas within the country, one missile launched from Yemen was intercepted,” the Israel Defense Forces announced in Hebrew.

Air-raid sirens were sounded to warn civilians to seek cover “in accordance with policy,” according to the military statement.

The latest aerial assault from Yemen sent around 2 million people running for bomb shelters, per the IDF’s Home Front Command.

Israel’s Magen David Adom emergency medical response group said it had not immediately received reports of shrapnel impacts or casualties, adding that “updates will follow if necessary.”
