A missile launched from Yemen overnight (Wednesday to Thursday) was intercepted by Israeli air defenses, according to an official statement from the IDF Spokesperson\u2019s Unit. Air raid sirens were heard in multiple regions, including central Israel, prompting brief panic and disruptions.<\/p>\n

Flight Disruptions at Ben Gurion Airport<\/strong>
\nAs sirens blared across the country, landings were briefly suspended at Ben Gurion International Airport, causing several flights to be delayed or rerouted midair. Among those affected were El Al flights from Berlin and Amsterdam, in addition to a Sun d’Or flight from Porta.<\/p>\n

No Direct Injuries, One Man Hurt While Seeking Shelter<\/strong>
\nEmergency services reported no casualties or missile impact sites, though one man sustained minor injuries while running to a shelter. Police forces conducted sweeps to ensure no debris or unexploded ordnance remained.<\/p>\n

This marks the second Houthi missile launched from Yemen toward Israel this week. A similar incident occurred overnight between Saturday and Sunday\u2014activating sirens during the live Eurovision 2025 broadcast, just as Israeli singer Yuval Raphael was announced as the competition\u2019s second-place winner.<\/p>\n

Ongoing Conflict with Iran-Backed Houthis<\/strong>
\nTensions between Israel and the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have escalated in recent months. Last week, the Israeli Air Force launched a series of strikes on Houthi infrastructure, targeting military installations and strategic ports.<\/p>\n

2,000 km Operation and Naval Blockade Effort<\/strong>
\nA recent Israeli airstrike reportedly struck a port facility 2,000 kilometers from Israeli territory. According to a senior Israeli source quoted by Sky News Arabia, the operation was part of an ongoing effort to destroy Houthi-controlled ports and impose a maritime blockade.<\/p>\n

The strikes came five days after an evacuation warning was issued in Arabic by the IDF to civilian areas near military sites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
