The Israeli occupation army this morning claimed that it had intercepted a missile which was launched from Yemen.
In a statement, the army said it had detected a missile and a projectile in separate launches from Yemen and that its air defence systems had intercepted them. Sirens were activated in several areas, according to the statement.
Meanwhile, social media platforms circulated a video showing the Yemeni missile passing over occupied Jerusalem earlier this morning.
Despite repeated Israeli strikes on Yemen — including a raid on 6 May that damaged Sanaa International Airport and another last week targeting the ports of Hudaydah and Al-Salif on the Red Sea — the Houthi movement continues to launch missiles towards Israel in what it says is support for the Palestinian people in Gaza where Israel is carrying out a genocidal bombing campaign.
