Yemen Launches Ballistic Missile at ‘Sensitive’ Israeli Target Spokesman
Military spokesman Yahya Saree said they fired at a "sensitive Israeli enemy target in the occupied area of Beersheba using a Dhu al-Fiqar ballistic missile."
The attack was in "response to the crimes of the criminal Zionist enemy against civilians in the Gaza Strip", Saree added.
Air raid sirens sounded across multiple locations in the Israeli-occupied territories following the launch of the ballistic missile by the Yemeni Armed Forces toward the occupying Zionist entity in retaliation for the regime’s ongoing genocidal war against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
According to Israeli media, the fresh missile attack from Yemen triggered sirens in Beersheba, Dimona, and towns in the surrounding area south of the occupied lands on Saturday morning.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
The Israeli regime's military claimed in a brief statement that its anti-air missile systems were working to shoot down the projectile.
The leader of Ansarullah stated on Thursday that the Arab nation’s forces have launched 309 ballistic and hypersonic missiles, as well as combat drones, at Israeli-occupied territories since mid-March, as part of the second phase of their military campaign against the Zionist regime.
Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said 25 missiles and drones were launched this month alone in what he described as “qualitative military operations in support of Gaza.”

He reaffirmed that the strategic Red Sea remains closed to Israeli-linked maritime traffic.
Houthi also vehemently lashed out at the Tel Aviv regime over continuing its bloody offensive in the Gaza Strip with US backing.
As the genocidal war on Gaza escalated, the Yemenis enforced a strategic blockade on essential maritime routes, with the goal of obstructing the delivery of military supplies to Israel and urging the international community to take action regarding the ongoing humanitarian emergency in Gaza.
The Yemeni Armed Forces have declared they will not stop their assaults unless Israel ceases its ground and aerial offensives in Gaza, where more than 56,300 Palestinians have been killed since the onset of war on October 7, 2023.
