The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced on December 1 that its air defenses had intercepted a ballistic missile launched from Yemen outside of Israel’s borders.
Warning sirens sounded in dozens of areas in central Israel amid the missile attack, which was most likely launched by the Iran-backed Houthis (Ansar Allah)
Shrapnel from the interception reportedly fell within Israel. Four people were injured as they ran for shelter, according to Israel’s Magen David Adom emergency service. No details are given on their conditions. An additional individual was treated for acute anxiety, the organization said.
Since November of last year, the Houthis have attacked dozens of vessels affiliated with Israel or owned by the United States and the United Kingdom in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea in response to the Israeli wars on Gaza and Lebanon.
The group also launched dozens of drones and missiles at Israel and shot down at least 12 American-made combat drones over Yemen and nearby waters.
In response, the U.S. and the UK have carried out hundreds of strikes against Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen since January. Israel also launched two waves of strikes against civilian infrastructure in al-Hodeidah in July and September.
The Houthis took some losses. However, the aerial campaign has so far failed to deter the group or to degrade its capabilities.
