Sirens sounded across Israeli-occupied areas in southeastern Palestine and the West Bank, following a Yemeni missile attack, early on Saturday.
The Israeli Army Radio reported that this is the 10th ballistic missile fired from Yemen at Israeli targets in the past month. Nine other one-way attack drones were launched from Yemen toward Israeli targets in the same period.
Saturday's missile attack triggered warnings near the Dead Sea, the southern al-Naqab desert, occupied al-Quds, Beit Shemesh, and al-Khalil in the West Bank.
Previous Yemeni attacks mostly targeted assets in or near Tel Aviv.
Earlier on Friday, the spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) Brigadier General Yahya Saree said that the military carried out a top-tier operation targeting Ben Gurion Airport in the occupied Yafa region (Tel Aviv) with a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile.
The missile successfully reached its target despite the enemy’s attempts to conceal it and resulted in casualties and the suspension of airport operations, Saree confirmed.
He also said that the YAF's Unmanned Air Force conducted a military operation targeting a vital Israeli site in the occupied Yafa region using a drone, which achieved its objective successfully.
The operations followed wide-scale Israeli strikes on Yemeni civilian infrastructure, including the Sanaa Airport, ports, and power stations, which claimed the lives of six citizens and injured another 40.
