According to a report from Israel War Room’s verified Twitter account, the missile was launched from Yemen and targeted densely populated areas in Israel. The Israeli government immediately activated air raid sirens, sending millions of citizens into shelters as part of its well-established defense protocols. Although no casualties or significant damage were reported, the attack has once again highlighted the vulnerability of Israel to hostile actors in the region.

Their increasing missile capability poses a growing risk, not only to Saudi Arabia but now to Israel as well. In recent months, Israel has raised alarms about the expanding influence of Iran’s proxies across the region, including in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and now Yemen.

Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system, credited with protecting civilians from previous rocket attacks, was crucial in preventing any loss of life.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
