IDF intercepts missiles from Yemen, Gaza after sirens blare across Israel
|
[IsraelTimes] Attacks didn’t cause injuries, military says; Katz warns Houthis that ‘Yemen will be treated like Tehran’ as US envoy to Israel says ‘maybe those B2 bombers need to visit Yemen!’
The Israeli Air Force intercepted three missiles launched from Yemen and Gaza on Tuesday night, after sirens sent people across the country to seek shelter.
Sirens sounded in multiple areas, including most of Jerusalem, Ben Gurion Airport, Modiin, Rishon Lezion and some West Bank settlements, as Yemen’s Houthis fired a single ballistic missile. No injuries or damage were reported.
The Houthis claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it targeted the airport.
A short time earlier, sirens also sounded in the Gaza envelope after two rockets were launched from southern Gaza. The Israel Defense Forces said those rockets were also intercepted and likewise caused no injuries. Rocket fire from Gaza has become rare after 20 months of fighting between Israel and Hamas.
The Houthis — whose slogan calls for “Death to America, Death to Israel, [and] a Curse on the Jews” — are an Iranian proxy that began attacking Israel and maritime traffic in November 2023, a month after the October 7 Hamas massacre.
Since March 18, when a ceasefire ended and the IDF resumed its offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Houthis have launched more than 50 ballistic missiles and at least 13 drones at Israel. Several of the missiles have fallen short.
The Houthis last fired a missile at Israel on Saturday, days after Iran and Israel reached a ceasefire in their 12-day war. After Tuesday’s missile fire, Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a warning to the Yemeni terror group.
“Yemen will be treated like Tehran. After striking the head of the snake in Tehran, we will also strike the Houthis in Yemen,” he said, adding, “Whoever raises a hand against Israel — that hand will be cut off.”
After rocket fire from Gaza, IDF issues evacuation order for parts of Khan Younis
[IsraelTimes] The military’s Arabic spokesperson has issued an evacuation warning for residents in parts of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip ahead of expected IDF operations in the area.
The announcement comes after two rockets were fired from Gaza earlier today toward Israeli territory near the southern Gaza Strip, both of which were intercepted by the Air Force.
The statement warns that the IDF is operating with “very strong force to destroy the terrorist organizations in the area,” and will strike “any location used for launching rockets.” Residents are urged to evacuate immediately northward to known shelters in Deir al-Balah and not to return to the designated combat zones.
