MADRID Dec. 28 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported in the early hours of this Saturday that they had intercepted a missile from Yemen, after it set off alarms in Jerusalem and in the vicinity of the Dead Sea.
“Following the alerts that have recently been activated in the area of Jerusalem and the Dead Sea, a missile launched from Yemen has been intercepted before crossing into the country,” the Israeli Army reported in a publication on its account on social network
Just a few moments before, the IDF itself had communicated through the same channel the activation of alerts in “several areas of the country” as a result of “a launch from Yemen” and had announced that the incident was already “under investigation”, although without offering more details about it.
This comes after the Israeli Army bombed Sana’a International Airport and Hodeida Governorate this week, causing at least six deaths and 40 injuries, according to authorities controlled by the insurgency.
The attack occurred during the departure of a UN plane. Among the injured was the co-pilot carrying the director of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, as well as the resident representative of said organization, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the director of communications.
The Houthis, who have controlled Sanaa and other areas of the north and west of the country since 2015, have launched several attacks against Israeli territory and against ships with some type of Israeli connection as a result of the offensive unleashed against the Gaza Strip after the aforementioned attacks of October 7, 2023.
