A projectile launched from Yemen triggered alarms across the Tel Aviv metropolitan area on Monday afternoon, as reported by the Israeli military. The projectile was intercepted outside Israel's borders, and no casualties or major damage were reported.

The Iranian-backed Houthis have frequently launched drones and missiles towards Israel since the ongoing conflict in Gaza began. A similar attack in July resulted in one fatality and injuries. Recently, Turkey and Qatar condemned Israel's settlement expansions in the Golan Heights, citing concerns over regional peace.

Meanwhile, in Gaza, Israeli airstrikes have killed ten people, including a family of four and journalist Ahmad Baker Al-Louh, amid the prolonged Israel-Hamas conflict. The international community's response remains critical to resolving these growing regional tensions.
