At least four Israeli settlers have been injured as Yemeni armed forces launched a ballistic missile toward the occupied territories in retaliation for the Tel Aviv regime’s atrocious military campaign against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency service said the settlers sustained injuries on Sunday as they ran for shelter during sirens triggered by the missile.
An additional individual was treated for acute anxiety, MDA added.
The Israeli military claimed in a statement that the ballistic missile was successfully intercepted by air defenses outside of the occupied lands.
According to Hebrew-language media outlets, sirens sounded in communities in the Ayalon Valley, including Latrun, Modi’in, Neveh Shalom, Nachshon, Mishmar Ayalon and Kfar Bin Nun, in the central Israeli-occupied territories amid the incident.
Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched a devastating war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, after the territory’s resistance movements carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity.
The Yemeni Armed Forces have said they will not stop their attacks until Israel’s ground and aerial offensives in Gaza end.
So far, Israel has killed at least 44,382 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 105,142 others in Gaza.
Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement maintains that it targets ships linked to Israel, the United States, or the United Kingdom to force an end to the Tel Aviv regime’s genocidal war on Gaza.
In October, the US military unleashed B-2 stealth bombers to bomb Yemen in support of Israel.
