Demonstrators React As Houthi Missiles Fired On Israel

The Israeli military said it intercepted a missile launched from Yemen on Thursday (March 20) before it crossed into Israel, following the activation of warning sirens in Jerusalem and the West Bank.

Sirens sounded in Jerusalem after the projectile was fired, the military said, adding that it was intercepted before it entered Israeli territory. The Israeli police said sirens were heard in Jerusalem.

The military said it also downed a missile launched from Yemen earlier in the day after sirens blared in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

Yemen's Houthi militants, who have yet to claim responsibility for the missile strike, appeared unfazed by the waves of U.S. strikes carried out since Saturday (March 15) and have vowed to escalate their attacks, including those targeting Israel, in response to the U.S. campaign. 21 March 2025
