The Israel Defense Forces said its aerial-defence systems intercepted a missile fired from Yemen in the early hours of 7 July, after warning sirens sounded in Jerusalem, the Dead Sea area and several communities across southern and central Israel. The Home Front Command reported no injuries or damage, and regular civilian activity resumed once the all-clear was given.

The launch is the latest in a series of long-range attacks on Israel traced to Yemen since the Gaza conflict erupted in late 2023. Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi movement has claimed responsibility for most previous strikes, though it did not immediately take credit for the overnight salvo. Israeli officials have warned that continued fire from Yemen could trigger retaliatory naval and air measures. Most of the projectiles and drones aimed at Israel or at Red Sea shipping lanes over the past 20 months have been intercepted or have fallen short.
