Israel’s military intercepted a missile launched from Yemen on Wednesday, causing sirens to sound in Israeli territory. The Magen David Adom ambulance service reported nine people were injured while heading to a protected area.
The attack is the fifth time this week that the Iranian-backed Houthi group has fired missiles towards Israel, with its goal being acts of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. This is not the first time Yemen’s Houthi group has targeted Israel, and their attacks have increased in recent months.
