Israel's military said it intercepted two missiles launched from Yemen and that sirens had sounded twice across the country including in Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank on Thursday, as the Iran-aligned Houthis stepped up attacks.

Israeli forces on Friday reported downing another projectile fired from Yemen. Air raid sirens sounded in several areas across Israel, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) wrote on X. Initially, there were no reports of injuries or damage.

Israeli military says their defense systems thwart another Houthi missile attack amid ongoing regional tensions.
