Israel army says intercepts Yemen missile after air raid sirens sound

 Jerusalem (AFP) June 5, 2025

The Israeli army said it intercepted a missile launched from Yemen on Thursday, after air raid sirens were triggered in Jerusalem and other cities.

"Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted," the army said in a statement.

Yemen's Huthi rebels have repeatedly launched missiles and drones at Israel since the war in Gaza began in October 2023 with Palestinian militant group Hamas's attack on Israel.

The army has now reported similar launches on at least five of the past seven days.

The Iran-backed Huthis, who say they are acting in solidarity with Palestinians, paused their attacks during a two-month Gaza ceasefire that ended in March, but began again after Israel resumed its military campaign in the territory.

While most of the projectiles have been intercepted, one missile fired in early May hit inside the perimeter of Israel's Ben Gurion airport for the first time.

Israel has carried out several strikes in Yemen in retaliation for the attacks, including on ports and the airport in the capital Sanaa.

The most recent airport strikes last week blew up Yemenia Airways' last operational plane, an airport official said at the time.
