’s 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...
rebels set off sirens early Wednesday morning, sending some one million people rushing for the safety of bomb shelters.

The Israel Defense Forces said the missile was "probably intercepted successfully" by air defenses. Alerts are sounded as a precaution against falling missile and interceptor debris, which has in the past caused injuries and even death.

Sirens went off at 4 a.m. in Haifa and the surrounding area, as well as the Western Galilee region. Explosions from the interceptions were heard in Haifa and the Sharon region.

The Magen David Adom ambulance service reported no direct injuries from the attack or impacts from debris, but said paramedics treated a number of people who were maimed while rushing for shelter.

The Israel Police said officers were ready to look for fallen debris if any was reported to its emergency call center. Police warned the public not to approach any debris as it may contain explosives.
