JNS.org — A ballistic missile launched by Yemen’s Houthi militia triggered sirens in the Judean Foothills and the Lachish region on Monday morning, including in Beit Shemesh, Adora, Tzora, Beit Guvrin, Sarigim, Karmei Tzur, Kfar Etzion, and Kiryat Arba.
The missile was intercepted before entering Israeli airspace, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
A fire in Beit Shemesh initially reported to have been caused by interception fragments was later said to be a case of arson.
Iran’s terror proxy in Yemen took responsibility for the ballistic missile launch, claiming to have targeted Nahal Sorek, an Israeli army base southwest of Jerusalem.
The Houthi attacks comes after US airstrikes targeted Houthi facilities in Yemen on Saturday night.
US Central Command forces “conducted multiple airstrikes on numerous Iran-backed Houthi weapons storage facilities within Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen,” a US defense official told ABC News.
Four drones from Iraq intercepted
Overnight Sunday, four drones approaching Israel from the east were shot down by the Israeli Air Force. Two were intercepted before crossing into Israeli territory.
According to protocol, sirens sounded during the incident, including in the Dead Sea and Galilee areas. Jerusalem residents reported hearing fighter jets overhead during the interceptions.
The Iran-backed Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed responsibility for the attacks.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella organization composed of several Iranian-backed Shi’ite militias under the command of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, has been launching daily drone attacks at Israel since the Hamas-led massacre in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
On Monday morning, a drone crashed into an open area in the Western Galilee near Moshav Liman, the IDF said. Israeli Fire and Rescue Services operated to extinguish a fire ignited by the impact, with the organization saying that the situation was under control. There were no reports of injuries.
Sirens also sounded in the Upper Galilee on Sunday night as the IAF intercepted a UAV that crossed from Lebanon.
