Another missile is launched from Yemen, falls short

A ballistic missile launched from Yemen a short while ago, apparently aimed at Israel, fell short far from the country, according to an Israeli defense source.

The military identified the launch, but no sirens sounded in Israel because the missile did not pose a threat.

It is the second missile launch from Yemen this evening, with the first triggering sirens in central Israel and Jerusalem before being intercepted.

Since March 18, when the IDF resumed its offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Houthis have launched some 32 ballistic missiles and at least 10 drones at Israel. Many of the missiles have fallen short.
