Israeli media reported that the missile triggered warning sirens in southern cities including Beersheba and surrounding areas.

The Israeli occupation military claimed its anti-air defense systems successfully intercepted the projectile before it entered Israeli airspace.
This strike comes as Yemen continues its campaign against ‘Israel’ in response to the ongoing Gaza genocide, where nearly 51,500 Palestinians, predominantly women and children, have been killed in what Yemen describes as a “genocidal war.”
The missile launch occurred just hours after the United States conducted extensive airstrikes across Yemen. American warplanes targeted multiple regions including five strikes on the Nihm district in Sana’a province and seven strikes on the Medghal district in Ma’rib province.
According to Yemen’s Saba news agency, a woman wasmartyred and another civilian injured when US airstrikes hit a residential building in Sa’ada province’s Sahar district. Additional strikes targeted Al-Mahwit province and the strategic Ras Isa fuel terminal in Hudaydah.
In response to the atrocities perpetrated by ‘Israel’ in Gaza and the US and UK aggression against Yemen, the Yemeni Armed Forces have launched a series of retaliatory strikes targeting Israeli, American, and British interests in the Red Sea and surrounding areas.
As the genocidal war in Gaza intensified, the Yemeni forces implemented a strategic blockade of vital maritime routes to obstruct the supply of military resources to Israel. This move aimed to urge the international community to address the dire humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza.
The Yemeni Armed Forces have vowed to sustain their attacks until Israel halts its ground and aerial assaults in Gaza.
