For the first time in three days: The Houthis launched a missile from Yemen this evening (Tuesday) that set off alarms in several areas across the country.
An IDF spokesman updated shortly after the alerts that the air defense systems operated successfully and intercepted the threat.
The IDF said: "Following the alerts that were activated a short time ago in several areas of the country, the Air Force intercepted one missile launched from Yemen.".
The interception was carried out by the 'Arrow 3' system.
The airspace was temporarily closed to landings and takeoffs. No injuries were reported.
The United States Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, sent a threatening message to the Yemeni terrorist organization on his X account: "Maybe those B2 bombers should visit Yemen.".
In the full tweet, the ambassador wrote: "We thought we were done with missiles being fired at Israel – but the Houthis launched another one over us. Fortunately, Israel's amazing interception system guided us to enter the shelter and wait until quiet returns. Maybe it's time for the B2 bombers to visit Yemen.".
Defense Minister Israel Katz threatened following the shooting from Yemen: "Yemen's law is the same as Tehran's. After we struck the head of the snake in Tehran, we will also strike the Houthis in Yemen. Whoever raises his hand against Israel - his hand will be cut off.".
