Tensions rose in Jerusalem on Thursday as worshippers found themselves in the midst of a missile scare, with alarms blaring in the city after a projectile was launched from Yemen towards Israel. The Israeli military quickly intercepted the missile before it could cross into Israeli territory, but the incident left residents on edge.
The incident marked the second missile launch from Yemen intercepted by Israeli forces that day, with sirens also sounding in Tel Aviv. The Yemeni Houthi militants, who have been carrying out attacks in response to US strikes, have not yet claimed responsibility for the missile strikes on Israel.
Despite the interception of the missiles, the threat of further attacks looms as the Houthi militants have vowed to continue their assaults, with Israel being a potential target. The situation has caused concern among residents in Jerusalem and the West Bank, with fears of further escalations in the region.
The ongoing conflict between the Houthi militants in Yemen and Israeli forces has raised tensions in the area, with worshippers and residents alike reacting with unease to the threat of missile attacks on Jerusalem. The situation is evolving rapidly, and authorities are closely monitoring the situation to ensure the safety of all those in the region.
