On the evening of June 10, 2025, air raid sirens rang out across central and southern Israel after a ballistic missile was launched by Yemen's Houthis. Sirens sounded in Jerusalem, southern Judea and Samaria, and the southern part of the country, forcing millions of residents to take refuge in bomb shelters. According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the attack was expected, allowing citizens to act without panic, following pre-announced warnings. The missile was intercepted successfully, according to preliminary data, but its debris fell in several settlements, causing concern among local authorities.

The Iranian-backed Houthis launched a ballistic missile that threatened densely populated areas of Israel, the IDF said. The air defense system responded quickly, firing several interceptor missiles to neutralize the target. The military reported that the enemy projectile broke apart in mid-air, requiring additional efforts to destroy larger fragments. As a result, residents of Jerusalem and the surrounding areas heard a series of loud explosions that accompanied the interception process. Debris from the missile and interceptors were found in several locations, including the Jewish settlement of Beitar Illit, the Arab village of Dura, and vacant lots in the Hebron area. Additional fragments fell in the yard of a house in the village of Zechariah near Beit Shemesh and on the road to Tzur Hadassah near Jerusalem.

The Jerusalem Post reports that the incident did not result in casualties or significant damage, but authorities urged residents to exercise caution due to the risk of finding additional debris. Special IDF and police teams began inspecting the affected areas to assess the damage and ensure safety. Residents in Beitar Illit and Dura reported minor damage to property, such as broken windows and minor damage to courtyards. In Tzur Hadassah, traffic was temporarily restricted to allow debris to be cleared, causing short-term inconvenience.
