News - Middle East: Hebrew media reported early Wednesday that a missile launched from Yemen reached occupied Palestinian territories, sparking alarm and disruption.

The missile alert triggered sirens across several areas, particularly in towns surrounding Al-Quds, sending thousands of residents rushing to shelters. No casualties were reported, according to Israel’s Magen David Adom emergency service.

Air traffic at Lod International Airport—known in Israel as Ben Gurion—was temporarily suspended, with aviation tracking sites confirming a halt to incoming and outgoing flights. The move reflects what Israeli commentators called the “seriousness of the growing threat” posed by Yemeni missile operations.

Analysts described the strike as a new blow to the Israeli entity, demonstrating that the Yemeni front remains active and capable of penetrating advanced air defense systems. The ability to disrupt civilian air traffic was seen as a significant psychological and logistical setback, in addition to the military challenge.

Yemeni Armed Forces have repeatedly declared that their operations form part of support for the Palestinian people in Gaza. The arrival of this latest missile, despite Israeli defense measures, was cited as further evidence of Yemen’s enhanced missile capabilities and the ongoing failure of Israel’s deterrence strategy.

The Israeli enemy has faced repeated missile and drone attacks attributed to Yemen in recent months, exposing vulnerabilities in its defense systems. The latest incident underscores the growing ability of Yemeni forces to disrupt critical Israeli infrastructure, while tying their operations to continued aggression on Gaza.
