Missile launched at Israel by Yemen’s Houthis lands in Saudi Arabia
Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
A ballistic missile launched by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen, apparently aimed at Israel, fell short in Saudi Arabia a short while ago.
The military identified the launch, but no sirens sounded in Israel because the missile did not pose a threat.
Since March 18, when the IDF resumed its offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Houthis in Yemen have launched more than 18 ballistic missiles and two drones at Israel. Only 10 of the missiles set off sirens in Israel, while the others fell short.
The Houthis in Yemen, meanwhile, claim to have launched a drone at Israel today, though no sirens sounded.
