In the early hours of Friday morning local time, the Israeli military successfully intercepted a surface-to-surface missile fired from Yemen. The interception was carried out using the Arrow Aerial Defense System, as stated in an official announcement.
Following the interception, sirens and explosions were reported in the area due to falling shrapnel. Despite the incident, Israel Airports Authority confirmed that Ben Gurion Airport is operating as usual after red alert sirens were sounded.
The missile launch is believed to have originated from Yemen's Houthi rebels, who have indicated that they will be releasing an 'important statement' in the near future.
The Arrow Aerial Defense System is a crucial component of Israel's defense infrastructure, designed to intercept and neutralize incoming threats from hostile entities. This successful interception highlights the effectiveness of Israel's defense capabilities in safeguarding its territory and population.
As tensions remain high in the region, the Israeli military continues to monitor the situation closely and remains prepared to respond to any further threats that may arise.
