The first ballistic missile was fired by Shiite rebels supported by Iran on Monday evening, and the second one early Tuesday morning, The Times of Israel reported. The shots set off sirens in the West Bank, the Jordan Valley, the area of the city of Afula and near Beit She’an, forcing thousands of Israelis to rush for shelter.
According to the portal, paramedics treated 11 people who were injured while running for shelter, and four others due to an acute anxiety attack. In the village of Mevo Bejtar, ten kilometers southwest of Jerusalem, a piece of ballistic missile fired by the Houthis landed on the roof of one of the houses, broke it, but did not fall through. He caused material damage, but did not injure anyone.
The Houthis repeatedly attack Israel. They claim that they support the terrorist movement Hamas in its war with Israel. This is where the terrorist attack of October 7, 2023 started, when Hamas and other radical groups killed 1,200 people in the south of the Jewish state and took 251 others as hostages to the Gaza Strip.

Since then, the Houthis have fired about four dozen ballistic missiles at Israel. In retaliation, the Israeli Air Force is shelling and bombing Houthi targets in Yemen. The last time, on January 10, more than 20 Israeli military aircraft took part in such a strike.
Yemeni rebels are also attacking ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, destabilizing a vital sea route. They instigate retaliatory American and British strikes. However, the Houthi attacks still fail to stop, and the rebels have pledged to continue until there is a ceasefire in Gaza.
