Missile attack from Yemen intercepted
The attack set off sirens in several regions of Israel. One woman was reported injured on her way to a shelter.
Sirens sounded in several regions of Israel on Friday due to a missile attack by the Houthis.
Alerts were reported as far north as Samaria and Tel Aviv. Ben-Gurion Airport, which was targeted earlier this week, sounded a warning siren as well, and all flights were stopped for a quarter of an hour.
Several basketball and soccer matches taking place in central Israel had to be halted due to the attack.
The missile was intercepted successfully by the American THAAD system. One woman was reported injured while running to a shelter.
This is the second ballistic missile attack by the Houthis since the Israeli bombing of Sana'a Airport earlier this week. The Houthis have fired 29 ballistic missiles at Israel since the end of the ceasefire.
Defense Minister Israel Katz declared "The Houthis have continued to fire Iranian missiles at us. We will respond with force wherever necessary."
Opposition leader Yair Lapid commented: "Israel must not wait for a missile that will cause a mass casualty incident. We must continue to attack in Yemen, targeting infrastructure, missile factories, and launch sites."
