A drone was launched from Yemen at the Holy Land overnight Thursday. Thankfully, Israel’s military intercepted it, reports JNS:

The Israeli Air Force intercepted a drone launched by Houthi terrorists in Yemen overnight Thursday.

The unmanned aerial vehicle did not trigger air-raid sirens in Israel, as it did not pose a threat to populated areas.

On Tuesday, the IAF intercepted a ballistic missile fired by Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen. That attack triggered sirens in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, sending millions of residents scrambling for shelter just before 6 a.m. There were no reports of injuries or damage.
