Missile fired from Yemen hits Tel Aviv, Israeli media report

Israeli media report that air raid sirens have sounded over a large part of the occupied territories following a missile attack from Yemen.

According to the Israeli regime’s media, the missile strike targeted Tel Aviv early Friday. The attack prompted Israeli settlers to rush to shelters.

Israel’s emergency services reported that 18 settlers were injured in Tel Aviv while attempting to reach the safety of shelters.

Videos shared online showed Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system failing, as it attempted to intercept the incoming projectile.

The missile strike reportedly forced half of the occupied territories into lockdown, with Israeli outlets describing the incident as a failure of the regime’s defensive measures.

The attack also caused a shutdown of Ben Gurion Airport.

It came hours after Israeli warplanes conducted airstrikes on Yemen’s capital Sana’a, and the port city of Hudaydah.

Israeli airstrikes hit Sana’a international airport and other locations in Yemen on Thursday.

Reports said the airport was struck by “more than six” attacks with raids also targeting the adjacent al-Dailami air base,

A series of strikes were also carried out against a power station in Yemen’s strategic western port city of Hudaydah, the al-Masirah television channel reported.

The spokesman for Yemen’s Ansarullah movement, Mohammed Abdulsalam, called the strikes “a Zionist crime against all the Yemeni people.”

On Wednesday, a missile launched from Yemen triggered air raid sirens across central Israeli-occupied territories, sending millions of settlers looking for cover for the second night in a row.

Military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree said the new operation involved a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile and struck an Israeli military target in Tel Aviv.

It was the fourth time in a week that fire from Yemen set off sirens in Israeli settlements.

On Saturday, 16 people were injured when a missile hit Tel Aviv after Israel’s much-hyped air defense system failed to intercept it.

Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched its devastating war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, which has so far killed at least 45,361 Palestinians, mostly women and children.

Ansarullah has been also targeting ships linked to Israel, the United States, and the United Kingdom to force an end to the Tel Aviv regime’s genocidal war on Gaza.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have said they will not stop their attacks until Israel’s ground and aerial offensives in Gaza end.
