JERUSALEM, July 26 (Xinhua) — The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it successfully intercepted a rocket fired from Yemen toward Israel on Friday evening.

There were no reports of hits or casualties, Israel's Magen David Adom rescue service reported.

Sirens sounded in several locations in southeastern Israel, including the Dead Sea area and the Judean Desert city of Arad, after the IDF detected a launch from Yemeni territory.

The latest missile launch by Yemen's Houthis took place on Tuesday and was also intercepted.

The Houthis, who control much of northern Yemen, have been launching ballistic missiles and drones toward Israel since November 2023 in solidarity with the Palestinians and to pressure Israel to end the war and blockade of Gaza. –0–
