Israel Shuts Airspace After Intercepting Yemen-Fired Missile
Air raid sirens blared across the greater Tel Aviv metropolitan area and swept through parts of central and southern Israel before the army confirmed the missile had been neutralized. The Israeli Home Front Command had issued public warnings moments after the launch was detected, instructing residents to seek immediate shelter.
Media subsequently confirmed that Israeli authorities had taken the decision to temporarily seal the country's airspace in the immediate aftermath of the incident — a rare and significant security measure that underscored the severity of the threat environment.
The Houthi strike unfolded against a backdrop of dramatically escalating regional hostilities. Late Sunday, Iran unleashed multiple waves of missile barrages targeting northern Israel — a retaliatory response to an earlier Israeli airstrike on Beirut's southern suburbs.
Israel struck back swiftly and forcefully, launching a series of hits on targets across western and central Iran. Explosions reverberated through several major Iranian cities, with blasts confirmed in Tehran, Isfahan, and Tabriz, signaling one of the most direct and expansive exchanges between the two regional adversaries in recent memory.
