On Monday, Yemen's Houthi rebels made headlines by launching missiles and drones at Israel. According to Houthi army spokesperson Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree, two missiles were fired at Israeli military sites in Jaffa and Tel Aviv. Saree claimed that both missiles successfully hit their intended targets.
Earlier in the day, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that they had intercepted a surface-to-surface missile fired from Yemen. The Israeli Air Force successfully thwarted the missile, but fragments of the intercepted projectile caused fires in Beit Shemesh near Jerusalem, which were promptly extinguished by Israeli fire crews.
