Israeli military intercepts missile launched from Yemen
Shafaq News/ The Israeli military said on Friday it intercepted a missile launched from Yemen, following air raid sirens that sounded across wide areas of the country, including the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, the western West Bank, and the hills west of Jerusalem.
According to the army, the missile alert was issued approximately 10 minutes before the projectile reached Israeli airspace, in line with what it described as a "new policy" for early warning procedures.

The Houthi movement did not claim responsibility.
