A robot launched from Yemen on its way to Israel has been shot down, announces the Israeli military on Thursday night. As a result of the attack, the air raid alarm was activated in parts of Israel.
The projectile was supposed to have had the international airport Ben Gurion south of Tel Aviv as its target, according to the Iran-backed Houthi movement in Yemen.
The Houthi movement has carried out several attacks against Israel since the beginning of the Gaza war, as well as disrupted global trade with attacks on shipping.
