This incident, marking the group's first direct attack on Israel since the regional conflict's expansion in February, triggered air raid sirens in Beersheba. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the interception of the missiles, and no casualties were reported. The Houthis vowed to continue attacks until military operations against resistance fronts in Iran and Lebanon cease.
