A ballistic missile fired from Yemen into central Israel was not intercepted by air defense systems, causing panic and injuries.
The missile, traveling over 2,000 kilometers, landed near Tel Aviv, damaging property and causing forest fires. Israeli forces are investigating the failure to intercept the missile, raising concerns over security breaches.
Claimed by the Ansarallah movement, the attack serves as a retaliation for Israeli military operations in Gaza. In a bold warning, Yemen’s Defense Minister threatened harsher retaliation against the US, UK, and Israel, vowing to protect Yemen at all costs.
With ongoing tensions escalating, the situation remains volatile, with both sides preparing for potential further actions that could have severe consequences.
