Israeli military sources announced this evening that two missiles were launched from Yemen toward the occupied territories, marking an unprecedented development that highlights the growing missile capabilities of Sana’a and the expanding range of its operations.
The Israeli army stated it attempted to intercept the missiles using its defense systems but did not confirm whether the attempt was successful, merely saying that “the results are under investigation.”
Meanwhile, sirens blared across several southern areas, triggering panic and confusion among Israeli settlers.
Israeli police launched extensive sweeps of the region in search of possible missile impact sites, urging residents to remain in shelters and protected areas until further notice.
Hebrew media outlets reported a temporary suspension of flights at Ben Gurion Airport as a precautionary measure following the activation of air defense systems in several regions.
Multiple areas witnessed scenes of panic, with footage circulating online showing crowds of settlers fleeing to shelters as sirens sounded—capturing the psychological toll of the attack.
Social media users also shared images showing fragments of intercepted missiles falling in settlements surrounding Jerusalem, raising concerns about the precision and effectiveness of Israel’s defense systems in dealing with long-range threats.
If confirmed, this attack would mark a significant qualitative shift, signaling a change in the rules of engagement in the region and a major breach in Israel’s deterrence system. It serves as a strategic message, showcasing the advancement of Yemen’s missile capabilities and the broadening reach of its operations.
Meanwhile, Yemeni media outlets are awaiting an official statement from military spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree, expected within the coming hours, to confirm the operation and provide further details.
