A long-range missile was fired from Yemen and landed in an open area in central Israel early Sunday, triggering air sirens, the Israeli military said.
A long-range missile fired from Yemen early Sunday landed in central Israel, according to the Israeli military. The attack prompted air raid sirens in the region and local media aired photos of what appeared to be a fragment from a missile or interceptor that landed on a train station in the central town of Modiin. There were no reports of casualties or damage from the missile but authorities observed a fire in the rural area.
Nobody immediately claimed responsibility for Sunday's missile strike from Yemen. Local media reported sounds of explosions resulting from the missile but Israel's military said later the sound came from the interceptors. Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels have repeatedly fired drones and missiles toward Israel since the start of Israel's war with Hamas in Gaza, which started after the terror group launched an attack on the Jewish State on Oct. 7.
Since the Israel-Hamas war began nearly a year ago, Iran and rits financed terror groups have attacked Israeli and U.S. targets, which has led to retaliatory strikes from Israel and its Western allies. Iran supports terror groups across the region — Hamas, the Houthis and Lebanon's Hezbollah — which have exchanged fire with Israel nearly every day since the war in Gaza began more than 11 months ago.
Tens of thousands of people on both sides of the Israel-Lebanon border have been displaced due to the strikes. Fox News' Yonat Friling and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
