The Tzeva Adom air raid siren sounded on the evening of Thursday, January 9, at Kibbutz Gvulot in the Western Negev, warning of a threat of drone infiltration. Later, the IDF press service reported that the Air Force shot down a drone launched from the east. Apparently from Yemen. There are no reports of casualties. A short time later, information appeared that another drone had been shot down over the Mediterranean Sea, also most likely launched from Yemen. And after some time it became known that the third drone that evening was intercepted over the sea.

Hours earlier, the Israeli army released data on all launches from Yemen undertaken during the War of Iron Swords, as well as videos of interceptions.

According to the Israeli army’s press service, about 40 surface-to-surface missiles have been fired from Yemen since the start of the war. The IDF shot down most of them as they approached Israel. One rocket crash and two incidents of rocket debris falling were recorded. In addition, about 320 drones were launched, more than 100 of them were intercepted, two managed to hit the target. Recall that the missiles (or debris) fell and caused damage once in Jaffaand in another time at school in Ramat Efal.

In addition to the statistics, the IDF released videos of interceptions of two drones – in one case by a fighter jet, in the other by a combat helicopter. Also released were voices from an army radio during the interception of a surface-to-surface missile on December 16. (Video is at the beginning of the article.)

On the recording, a person can be heard saying: “We see a target heading to Tel Aviv, to Gush Dan. An interceptor has been launched. There is a positive assessment of the elimination and an indication of an explosion. I repeat: there are several positive indications of a successful interception.”
