Sirens sounded across Israeli-occupied territories in central Palestine and the West Bank, early on Friday, as a result of a Yemeni missile attack. 

At approximately 4:35 am (local time), the missile arrived over occupied Palestinian airspace, triggering sirens in major city settlements, occupied cities, and occupied areas.

This included Tel Aviv, occupied al-Quds, Ramat Gan, Rishon LeZion, Petach Tikva, and Beit Shemesh, among other areas. 

Footage captured from the West Bank city of Qalqilya showed the missile descending rapidly toward its target before exploding at a distance. However, reports are yet to emerge of a direct impact site or of the fall of shrapnel.

The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) have fired multiple long-range missiles and drones at Israeli targets in recent days, as a continuation of its support to the Palestinian people and in response to Israeli strikes against the country. 

On the other hand, the Israeli regime has launched multiple assaults on Yemeni civilian infrastructure, focusing its aerial strikes on the Sanaa airport, the port of Hodeidah, and power and energy facilities. The YAF have also defended against American and British aggression, downing highly prized drones and engaging in naval battles that have thwarted or minimized the effects of multiple assaults. 

This comes as the Yemeni people continue to reaffirm their commitment to the Palestinian cause and resolve to end the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip in weekly demonstrations.
