Video clip shows missile from Yemen in flight over Israel
Video shared on social media is said to show the missile fired from Yemen flying over central Israel earlier this morning. The video appears to show the missile, a bright light in the sky, before it disappears as Israeli warning sirens wail in the distance.
The video, shared by the Al Mayadeen news outlet, was reportedly recorded from Qalqilya in the occupied West Bank.

Houthi official says missile targeting Israel another failure for US-made THAAD
The latest missile launch from Yemen overnight against Israel highlights yet more failure by the US military’s advanced Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system (THAAD), a Houthi official said.
“Every new day that passes in the life of this aggression on Gaza means more development of Yemeni weapons and another failure for the Zionists and Americans,” Nasruddin Amer, a senior member of the Houthi media authority, said in a post on X.
Israel must realise that no system can reliably protect it from missiles travelling at hypersonic speeds, and must therefore stop the war on Gaza, Amer said.
The Israeli military, which reportedly deployed the THAAD for the first time last week to shoot down a Yemeni missile after a failed interception by Israel’s own defence systems, has not confirmed whether the US-made system was used last night.
The military did say that an initial interception attempt failed last night, allowing the Houthi missile to enter Israeli airspace where it was partially intercepted. The interception is being investigated, the military said.
