The Israeli military says it has intercepted two missiles launched from Yemen toward Tel Aviv, Al-Quds and other cities.
Eyewitnesses reported explosions in Al-Quds whereas, police said air raid sirens were activated in central Israel and in the Al-Quds area as well as several settlements in the occupied West Bank.
“The two missiles were intercepted before crossing into Israel,” the military said in a statement on Thursday, adding that the sirens were activated “in accordance with protocol.”
According to the Israeli media, missiles fired towards central areas of the Israeli regime and that explosions were heard in Bethlehem and northern Hebron but did not mention about any damage or casualties.
Meanwhile, the spokesperson for the Yemeni armed forces confirmed the launch of two ballistic missiles, aiming at Ben Gurion Airport and an Israeli military south of Tel Aviv, respectively.
Yahya Saree said Yemen carried out another operation targeting “U.S. warships in the Red Sea, including USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier, using several ballistic and cruise missiles and drones.”
He said the operations will “continue to prevent Israeli navigation in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea” until Israel stops its “aggression" against Gazans and lifts its siege on the Palestinian territory".
So far, the U.S. military has not commented on the Yemeni retaliatory attacks.
