In 4th attack on Israel in week, IDF intercepts Houthi missile fired from Yemen
|
[IsraelTimes] No injuries or damage in latest attack carried out by Iran-backed group; 38 ballistic missiles launched since late March
A ballistic missile launched at Israel by the Iran-backed Iran's Houthi sock puppets
 ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth . Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...

...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
on Friday morning was intercepted by air defenses, the military said.
The missile fire marked the second day in a row of Houthi attacks on Israel, and the fourth within a week.
There were no reports of injuries or damage in the attack early Friday.
The missile set off sirens at around 4 a.m. in central Israel, including in Tel Aviv, sending nearly a million residents scrambling to bomb shelters. Preceding the sirens by some three minutes, an early warning was issued to residents, alerting them of the long-range missile attack via a push notification on their phones. However,
there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened...
the advanced warning does not override the do-not-disturb functions on cell phones, unlike the siren alerts.
The Israel Defense Forces said air defenses successfully intercepted the missile.
Video shared on social media purported to show an interceptor missile launched to shoot down the Houthi projectile.
Last week, the Israeli Air Force struck the Houthi-controlled Hodeida and Salif ports in Yemen in response to the Iran-backed group’s repeated attacks on Israel. The Houthis vowed to respond and have since continued their missile attacks on Israel.
On Thursday, the Houthis launched two missiles at Israel, claiming to have targeted Ben Gurion Airport. The IDF said both were intercepted. On Sunday, another missile fired from Yemen was shot down, according to the military.
Earlier this month, a Houthi missile slipped through air defenses and landed in the grounds of Ben Gurion Airport, injuring six people, none of them seriously. A slew of international carriers promptly halted services to Israel, though some have since said they will resume operations.
Israel responded to that attack with strikes on Sanaa airport, causing an estimated $500 million worth of damage. On Saturday, some flights to the Yemeni airport resumed.
