🚨 At dawn, air defense sirens blared over Tel Aviv after Yemen’s Houthi armed group fired a hypersonic ballistic missile targeting “sensitive sites” in Jaffa. The IDF says it intercepted the missile and there are no reported hits or casualties.
According to Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea, the missile carried multiple warheads and forced residents into bomb shelters. He claimed the strike “achieved its objectives” and vowed more actions “in support of the Palestinian people in Gaza.”
Israel’s Magen David Adom confirmed no injuries or damage, while the IDF issued an alert and local sirens woke millions across the Tel Aviv metro area. This came after Houthi-run health ministry reports that recent Israeli airstrikes on Sanaa hit newspapers, civilian homes, and killed dozens.
