IDF says Houthi missile successfully intercepted
Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
A ballistic missile launched at Israel by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen was successfully intercepted by air defenses a short while ago, the military says.
Sirens had sounded across central Israel. Preceding the sirens by three minutes, an early warning was issued to residents, alerting civilians of the long-range missile attack via a push notification on their phones.
Since March 18, when the IDF resumed its offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Houthis in Yemen have launched 45 ballistic missiles and at least 10 drones at Israel. Several of the missiles have fallen short.
