A ballistic missile launched by Houthi rebels in Yemen triggered air raid sirens across northern Israel, including in Haifa. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) intercepted the missile mid-air, but falling debris damaged the roof of a kindergarten at Kibbutz Mishmar Ha’emek. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. This marks an escalation in long-range threats from Yemen. In response, Israel struck a target near Damascus as tensions heighten. Israeli leaders warned against any hostile movements south of Damascus or threats to the Druze community amid regional instability.
