Israel’s military on Monday reported a missile attack launched from Yemen, intensifying already heightened regional tensions following a dramatic escalation in hostilities between Israel and Iran.
In a brief statement, the Israeli army said the missile fired from Yemen triggered air-raid sirens in southern Israel, though it did not confirm whether the projectile caused any casualties or damage. There was no immediate claim of responsibility from Yemen’s Houthi group, which has previously aligned itself with Iran in regional conflicts.
The Israeli army also reported sirens sounding in the Jordan Valley area of the occupied West Bank, attributing them to a violation of Israeli airspace by a “hostile aircraft.” No further information was provided about the incident.
These developments come amid a broader confrontation that began Friday, when Israel carried out coordinated airstrikes on multiple Iranian targets, including military installations and nuclear facilities. The strikes prompted Tehran to launch retaliatory missile attacks over the weekend.
According to Israeli authorities, at least 24 people have been killed and hundreds wounded in Iranian missile strikes since the hostilities began. Iran, in turn, reported 224 fatalities and more than 1,000 injuries as a result of Israeli assaults.
The reported missile from Yemen signals a possible widening of the conflict beyond the Israel-Iran axis, potentially drawing in other regional actors such as the Iran-aligned Houthis, who have previously targeted Israeli territory in solidarity with Palestinian factions and Iran.
As tensions escalate, international observers have warned of the growing risk of a broader regional war, with calls mounting for restraint on all sides to prevent further destabilization in the Middle East.
