Missile Fired from Yemen Lands in Central Israel, IDF Says

Israeli military says incident did not cause any casualties or damage, calls it “most significant” attack from Yemen since 2019

Attack comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and Israel

The Israeli military said a missile fired from Yemen landed in central Israel on Thursday, calling it the “most significant” attack from the war-torn country since 2019. The military said the missile did not cause any casualties or damage.

The attack comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and Israel. Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have launched a series of missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in recent months. Israel has accused Iran of providing the Houthis with weapons and training.

The Israeli military said it was investigating the attack and would “respond accordingly.”

The missile attack is the latest in a series of incidents that have raised concerns about the growing threat from Iran and its proxies in the region.

In recent months, there have been a number of attacks on Israeli and Emirati ships in the Gulf of Oman. Israel has blamed Iran for these attacks, which have been carried out by drones and limpet mines.

The United States has also accused Iran of being behind the attacks on ships in the Gulf of Oman. In July, the US military released a video showing an Iranian boat removing an unexploded limpet mine from a US Navy ship.

The missile attack on Israel is a reminder of the growing threat from Iran and its proxies in the region. The attack comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and Israel, and it is likely to further escalate tensions in the region.
