The UN Security Council will convene next Monday in response to Israel's urgent request following the Houthi missile launch toward Israeli territory overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday.

For the second consecutive night, sirens echoed across more than 200 communities throughout central Israel after an early morning launch from Yemen. IDF officials confirmed the interception of a single missile and explained that the widespread alerts were triggered by potential falling debris from the interceptor.

The previous night, between Monday and Tuesday, warning sirens were activated across central Israel and multiple southern communities in response to another missile launch from Yemen. While that missile was also successfully intercepted, a 60-year-old woman in Tel Aviv suffered serious injuries when she struck her head while rushing to a protected space.

Danny Danon, Israel's Ambassador to the UN, expressed satisfaction with the scheduled council meeting: "The Houthis appear not to have grasped the consequences that await those who attempt to attack Israel. The Security Council must stand with Israel and condemn these attacks. I urge the council to uphold international law and establish Iran's accountability in this matter."
