Yemen is an Arab country on the southern end of the Arabian Peninsula bordering both the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. Due to this, it holds a vital strategic location on the eastern side of the Bab al-Mandab Strait at the entrance to the Red Sea.
The country has been embroiled in a civil war for several years, with the internationally-recognized government fighting against the Houthi movement in the South.
This is the second time this week that Yemen targeted Israel. An initial drone was fired toward the country on Monday.
The Houthis may think they can get away with anything without paying a price. The question is, what price is enough to make them stop?
The Jerusalem Post learned that Israel has lost patience with the Houthis and may be ready to act.
The IDF added that the missile did not cross into Israeli territory, however, alerts sounded due to concerns over falling interception debris.
