It was reported to have been fired from outside the country's borders. The warning sirens sounded again in several areas in the center of Israel. The sirens had been triggered because of possible falling debris as a result of the launch. Only the previous night, the Houthi militia in Yemen had reportedly fired a ballistic missile towards the coastal metropolis of Tel Aviv. This was also intercepted.
On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced harsh military strikes against the Islamists in Yemen due to the continued shelling by the militia. A missile from Yemen hit Tel Aviv on Saturday night. 16 people were slightly injured.
Since the beginning of the Gaza war between Israel and the Islamist Hamas in October 2023, the Houthi militias allied with Hamas have been attacking targets in Israel and ships in the Red Sea with missiles and drones. Israel, the USA and allies are therefore repeatedly attacking Houthi positions in Yemen.
