Israel’s military said it detected a ballistic missile launched from Yemen in the early hours of 14 August and intercepted the projectile before it reached Israeli territory. The Israel Defense Forces noted that Home Front Command protocols did not require the activation of warning sirens because the missile was assessed not to pose a direct threat to populated areas. The IDF attributed the launch to Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi movement, which has repeatedly fired missiles and drones toward Israel during the regional conflict. No casualties or damage were reported, and Israeli authorities said operations in the affected areas continued as normal while they reviewed the incident.
