Sirens were sounded at 9:22 a.m. in Gush Dan, the Shephelah, Samaria and near Jerusalem following the launch of a ballistic missile from Yemen. These are the first sirens in the central region in about two weeks.
For the first time, a fall was recorded at Ben Gurion Airport; the missile crashed near Terminal 3. The airport was closed for about an hour but then reopened.
Three people sustained light injuries according to Israel’s Magen David Adom emergency service. MDA teams treated a 50-year-old man and a 54-year-old woman who were lightly wounded by the explosion itself, as well as a 32-year-old woman who was injured while rushing to a shelter. All three were evacuated for further medical care.
Doron Kadosh of Galie Tsahal reports that after 26 ballistic missiles from Yemen that were successfully intercepted in the past month and a half, the 27th missile launched this morning was apparently not intercepted. As has been repeated many times during the war: There is no hermetic defense.
