Sirens sound in Beersheba as IDF says ballistic missile was intercepted with no injuries; attack comes hours after terror group warned it was ready to intervene militarily

Yemen’s Houthis launched a ballistic missile attack at southern Israel on Saturday morning, triggering sirens in Beersheba and surrounding areas, in the first offensive from the Iran-aligned group since the start of the war with Iran.

In a statement, the Houthis claimed responsibility for the attack, saying they had targeted “sensitive Israeli military sites” with a “barrage of ballistic missiles.”

The IDF said one ballistic missile fired from Yemen was successfully shot down by air defenses.
