Israel Intercepts Houthi Missile with Arrow Defense System
(Times of Israel) Emanuel Fabian - Israel's long-range Arrow air defense system intercepted a surface-to-surface missile launched by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen on Tuesday, aimed at the city of Eilat, in the first operational use of the system during the war with Hamas. The IDF said the air force tracked the missile's trajectory and intercepted it "at the most appropriate operational time and location." The IDF also said its fighter jets downed another two "hostile targets" - believed to be drones - flying over the Red Sea. Tens of thousands of people displaced by the Hamas assault on Israel and Hizbullah attacks on the north are being temporarily housed in Eilat.
