Houthi rebels fire missile toward Israeli airbase

On Friday, Yemen’s Ansarallah (Houthis) movement launched a hypersonic ballistic missile at Israel’s Ramat David Airbase, located east of Haifa.

In a statement, Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree announced that the missile, identified as a “Palestine-2” hypersonic ballistic missile, reached its target successfully after Israeli air defense systems failed to intercept it.

Air raid sirens were activated across Haifa and the Galilee region early Friday. 

Explosions were reported in multiple areas, following what appeared to be interception attempts. 

Israel’s Army Radio confirmed a ballistic missile had been launched from Yemen toward northern Israel.

The Israeli military said Friday it shot down a missile launched from Yemen.
