Late-night Houthi ballistic missile attack thwarted by IDF, muting widespread sirens
|
[IsraelTimes] No injuries or damage reported; in contrast with other recent attacks warnings sound only in a single town
A ballistic missile fired toward Israel from Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
was intercepted early Sunday morning, the military said, with air raid sirens largely remaining silent despite the threat.
The attack by the Iran-backed Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth . Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
rebel group just after midnight was the latest in a series of middle-of-the-night attacks that have sent millions scrambling for shelter, upending daily life in Israel and occasionally causing widespread destruction.
The army said the single ballistic missile "was intercepted prior to crossing into Israeli territory."
Sirens only sounded in the town of Talmei Elazar, an agricultural community near Hadera, in the north of Israel’s heavily populated central coastal region. The military said the warnings were triggered there "according to protocol," without providing details.
In previous attacks, sirens have sounded across wide swaths of the country, seemingly due to fears of falling shrapnel, which can cover a large area due to the speed of the long-range missiles and the height at which they are intercepted.
Loud blasts were reported in several areas around central Israel following the interception, and videos showed flaming pieces of shrapnel streaking toward earth.
There were no reports of injuries or damage.
A spokesperson for the Houthis accused Israel of lying about the interception, and said the attacks would continue until Israel’s military campaign against the Hamas
 ..always the voice of sweet reason...
terror group in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
ended, without taking direct responsibility for the launch.
Following the attack, the Houthi’s Saba news agency and al-Masirah TV reported three raids east of the Houthi-controlled city of Saada, in Yemen’s mountainous northwest, attributing the operations to the United States and Britannia.
There was no immediate comment from either military.
The Iran-backed rebels have stepped up their attacks since a November ceasefire between Israel and another Iran-backed terror group, Hezbollah, in Leb
...The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. Only one of those statements is an exaggeration....
While most of the missiles and drones launched from Yemen have been intercepted, one missile maimed 16 people in Tel Aviv in December, according to the military and emergency services.
A number of people have also been injured while rushing for shelter.
