Israel intercepts rocket launched from Yemen, strikes at Hezbollah launchers in Lebanon | N18G

On January 3, sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem around 04:30 am local time due to a missile launched from Yemen, which was intercepted by the Israeli Air Force. The Israeli military warned of potential falling shrapnel from the interception, and explosions were heard in both cities. The missile had crossed into Israeli territory before being intercepted, with shrapnel landing in Modi'in, central Israel. The missile attack is attributed to Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi militants, who have previously launched missiles and drones towards Israel in what they describe as acts of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. In a related development, Israel’s military released footage showing airstrikes on medium-range rocket launchers at a Hezbollah military site in southern Lebanon. The strikes followed Israel's request to the Lebanese army to destroy the launchers, which went unacted upon, prompting Israeli retaliation. The Lebanese army has not yet commented on the matter.
