The Yemeni army has claimed responsibility for launching a missile towards Israel, which was allegedly intercepted by the Israeli air defense system. The incident occurred in the Grovit area in northern Eilat, with reports suggesting that the target was not the city itself.
According to Israeli media reports, the "Arrow 3" air defense system successfully intercepted the ballistic missile launched from Yemen. However, the Israeli army denied any reports of a security incident in Eilat, stating that no bullets were fired and no surveillance system was activated.
The incident comes after the Yemeni army vowed to retaliate against Israeli aggression following an airstrike on the port city of Hodeidah earlier this week. The Yemeni army warned that it would not hesitate to target vital Israeli targets in response to any future aggression.
The reported missile launch and subsequent interception have raised concerns about the escalating tensions between Israel and Yemen, with both sides trading accusations of aggression and threats of retaliation.
