A drone launched from Yemen on Tuesday was intercepted and destroyed by the Israeli Air Force, JNS reports. No air raid sirens were activated as the drone’s presence and positions were not deemed a threat to Israel’s population centers.

The IAF downed a similar drone, also from Yemen, overnight on July 24, as well as two Houthi drones and a ballistic missile last week.

According to a report, the Houthis are training for an invasion of Israel, 1,200 miles away. The terrorist organization recently completed the training of its third cohort of elite operatives for a planned attack dubbed “Al-Aqsa Flood.” The name is the same that Hamas used for its cross-border terror assault on Oct. 7.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on July 28 that Israel remains focused on dismantling Iran’s terrorist proxies across the Middle East. “There are still the two H’s: Hamas and that band of savages down south,” the premier said, referring to the Houthis.

Attacks like this, while often preventable, are part of a broader plan from terrorist groups like Hamas and the Houthis to not just harm Israel and her people but eradicate them entirely. It’s an unprecedented time of growing threats. However, as more Jewish and Israel lives are endangered, The Fellowship and our generous supporters continue to provide security to Israel, her first responders, hospitals, and more as they increase their level of readiness.

Please continue to pray for Israel during this time of conflict, and that God will provide a blessed path to shalom, peace.
