Missile Fire from Yemen's Houthi Rebels Triggers Sirens in Central Israel for the Second Night

  For the second consecutive night, air raid sirens blared across central Israel as a missile launched from Yemen's Houthi rebels was intercepted by Israeli air defenses early Wednesday morning. The missile, aimed at the Tel Aviv area, was successfully intercepted before crossing into Israeli territory, though shrapnel from the interception fell in several towns.  This marks the fourth time in a week that missile fire from the Houthi rebels has set off sirens in Israel. On Saturday, a missile hit a playground in Tel Aviv, injuring 16 people after Israel's air defense system failed to intercept it. In response, Israeli jets struck Yemen's rebel-held capital and a port city, resulting in nine casualties.  Israel's foreign minister has requested an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council to condemn the Houthi attacks and their alleged Iranian allies for providing the rebels with weapons. The situation remains tense as both sides continue to exchange fire, with the H...

Your lookahead horoscope: November 17, 2024

 


HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Partnership issues will have you running here, there and everywhere over the coming year. At some point you will have to slow down long enough to work out if all that hustle and bustle is really achieving anything. Let others do more for themselves.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

The more rivals try to break you down this week the more you will keep coming back at them with renewed strength and spirit. You were born under the sign of the ram and as such you enjoy pitting your wits against those who would challenge you.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Don’t try too hard to impress the powers that be over the next few days. As Pluto moves into the career area of your chart employers and senior colleagues will be aware of what you have to offer – and will be offering good things in return.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

You need to let a colleague know that you are in no way amused by their behaviour and that if they do not cease their activities immediately the consequences will be dire. You prefer making friends but won’t hesitate to make enemies if you have to.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

You may want to help a friend who has major troubles in their personal life but the planets indicate this is a situation they must work out for themselves. If you guide them through a crisis now they could be facing an even bigger one tomorrow.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

You need to be ruthlessly honest with friends and family members, because if they carry on as they are the end result may be more than they can cope with. One day they will thank you for being so plain-spoken, though probably not yet.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

A friend you usually get along with will be annoyingly bossy over the next few days. Most likely they have some serious issues to deal with and believe the only way to do that is to dominate other people. Show them why that is the wrong approach.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

You may not be able to stop what you can see is about to happen but you can make good use of it. If some people are stupid enough to believe there will be no pushback against their actions they probably deserve to be taken advantage of.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Try not to take anything too seriously over the next few days. There is a thin line between tragedy and comedy and you won’t have to look too hard to see the funny side in what occurs both at home and at work. You’re allowed to laugh.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Your commitment to a cause of some kind will be put to the test this week and you may well choose to give up on it. No doubt you would be right to do so but is there not a less drastic way to make your displeasure known?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Although power planet Pluto leaves your sign this week it won’t affect your ability to get things done. On the contrary, it should be easier than ever to cash in on all the hard work you have put in over the past year or so.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

What occurs over the next few days is sure to be disruptive but while that may be bad news for some it is good news for you. Pluto’s move into your sign will endow you with the insight and the ability to make changes work for you.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Don’t hesitate to ask a friend or colleague for assistance this week because they will extend a helping hand with no questions asked. The only danger is they may be so eager to protect you that you come to rely on their support. Don’t let that happen.
