Missile Alert in ‘israeli’-Occupied Areas as Yemen Initiates New Strike
Air raid sirens have been activated in various areas within the Israeli-occupied territories after the Yemeni Armed Forces launched a ballistic missile aimed at Israel. This action is described as a response to Israel's continuous military operations against Palestinians in the blockaded Gaza Strip.
Israeli media reports indicate that a recent missile strike originating from Yemen activated warning sirens in Beersheba, Dimona, and neighboring towns in the southern region of the occupied territories on Saturday morning.
There have been no immediate reports of injuries or damage following the incident.
The Israeli military announced in a brief statement that its anti-air missile systems were actively engaged in intercepting the projectile.
The Ansarullah movement in Yemen announced on Saturday that its forces launched a ballistic missile targeting the Israeli-occupied territories. This action was described as a response to Israel’s actions towards Palestinians amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Military spokesperson Yahya Sare’e announced that a “sensitive target belonging to the Israeli adversary in the occupied Beersheba region” was struck using a Dhu al-Fiqar ballistic missile.
The assault was carried out “in retaliation for the actions of the Zionist adversary against civilians in the Gaza Strip,” Sare’e stated.
According to statements made on Thursday by the leader of Ansarullah, forces associated with the Arab nation have carried out a significant military operation against Israeli-occupied territories. Since mid-March, 309 ballistic and hypersonic missiles, along with combat drones, have been deployed as part of the second phase of their campaign targeting the Zionist regime.
Abdul-Malik al-Houthi announced that 25 missiles and drones have been deployed this month in what he termed as “qualitative military operations in support of Gaza.”
He confirmed that the strategic Red Sea will remain off-limits to maritime traffic associated with Israel.
The Houthi movement strongly condemned the Tel Aviv administration for persisting in its violent campaign in Gaza, which reportedly has the support of the United States.
In response to the intensifying conflict in Gaza, Yemeni forces have implemented a strategic blockade on key maritime routes. This move aims to hinder the supply of military resources to Israel and to encourage the global community to address the pressing humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza.
The Yemeni Armed Forces have announced their determination to continue operations until Israel halts its military actions, both by land and air, in the Gaza region. The conflict, which began on October 7, 2023, has resulted in over 56,300 Palestinian casualties.
