A missile launched from Yemen struck the Israeli city of Tel Aviv overnight, injuring at least 16 people, reports Al Jazeera.
The Yemen-based Houthis have now confirmed they fired a “hypersonic ballistic missile” named “Palestine 2”, striking the “occupied Jaffa area” just south of the coastal city.
“The missile hit its target accurately, and the defences and interception systems failed to intercept it,” Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree said in a televised speech.
Saree said the attack was a response to the “massacres against our brothers in Gaza”, as well as Israeli aggression against our country”.
