Israel Shuts Airspace After Intercepting Yemen Missile Over Tel Aviv
The Israeli army confirmed the interception, while the Israeli Home Front Command had already issued public warnings moments after the missile launch was first detected.
The news agency subsequently reported that Israeli authorities made the decision to shut down the country's airspace in the immediate aftermath of the incident — an extraordinary and rarely taken security measure reflecting the severity of the threat environment.
The Yemen missile strike came against a backdrop of rapidly intensifying regional hostilities. Late Sunday, Iran unleashed several waves of missile barrages targeting northern Israel, a response to an Israeli airstrike on Beirut's southern suburbs — a strike that drew widespread condemnation from Tehran and its regional allies.
Israel responded with retaliatory strikes on western and central Iran, with explosions reported across multiple major Iranian cities, including the capital Tehran, as well as Isfahan and Tabriz — marking one of the most significant direct exchanges of fire between the two countries in recent history and raising urgent fears of a broader regional conflict.
