sirens blared across Israeli-occupied areas in southeastern Palestine and the West Bank early Saturday morning following a Yemeni missile attack.
The Israeli Army Radio reported this was the 10th ballistic missile fired from Yemen at Israeli targets in the past month, with nine additional one-way attack drones launched from Yemen towards Israeli sites during the same period.

Saturday’s missile strike triggered warnings near the Dead Sea, the southern al-Naqab desert, occupied al-Quds, Beit Shemesh, and al-Khalil in the West Bank. Previous Yemeni attacks have mostly targeted assets in or near Tel Aviv.
Earlier on Friday, the spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) Brigadier General Yahya Saree said the military carried out a “top-tier operation” targeting Ben Gurion Airport in the occupied Yafa region (Tel Aviv) with a “Palestine-2” hypersonic ballistic missile. Saree confirmed the missile successfully reached its target despite enemy attempts to conceal it, resulting in casualties and the suspension of airport operations.
The YAF’s Unmanned Air Force also conducted a military operation targeting a vital Israeli site in the occupied Yafa region using a drone, which Saree said achieved its objective successfully.
These latest strikes followed wide-scale Israeli bombardment of Yemeni civilian infrastructure, including the Sanaa Airport, ports, and power stations, which claimed the lives of six citizens and injured another 40.
