IDF intercepts missile from Yemen; debris lands in West Bank settlement

[IsraelTimes] No injuries reported as sirens sound in Israel for third day in a row; Trump says US could ‘go back on the offensive’ if Houthis resume attacks despite ceasefire

...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.

A large chunk of debris from the intercepted missile landed in the West Bank settlement of Alon Shvut.

No injuries were reported.

Sirens had sounded across central Israel and the Jerusalem area. Preceding the sirens by some three minutes, an early warning was issued to residents, alerting civilians of the long-range missile attack via a push notification on their phones.

This is the third day in a row in which a Houthi-launched missile reached Israeli airspace and was intercepted.

In addition, on Tuesday, a ballistic missile launched from Yemen, apparently aimed at Israel, fell short far from the country. A missile fired from Yemen also fell short on Monday, according to an Israeli defense source.

that the US would "go back on the offensive" if the Houthis breach the deal.

"We’re dealing with the Houthis, and that was, I think, very successful. But maybe tomorrow an attack will be made, in which case we go back on the offensive," Trump said.
