Houthi ballistic missile — fourth in 2 days — falls short, IDF says

A ballistic missile launched at Israel by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen a short while ago fell short outside the country’s borders, according to a military official.

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

The launch marks the fourth missile attack in the last 48 hours, along with a drone that Israel says was shot down earlier today, during what appears to be a marked uptick in aerial assaults on Israel by the terror group.

There have been no reports of injuries or material damage in any of the attacks.
