Israel says missile from Yemen intercepted outside its borders

Israel said it detected a missile launched from Yemen and intercepted it outside its borders, local media reported, describing it as the first such attack linked to the ongoing conflict.

The development signals a potential widening of hostilities, adding to Israel’s war involving Iran and its operations against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.

The escalation comes as Israeli officials and analysts warn of mounting strain on the military amid prolonged operations on multiple fronts.

Former military officials have described concerns over troop fatigue and the risks of a deeper ground offensive in southern Lebanon, where plans for a broader campaign have raised fears of a costly and extended conflict.
