According to an initial probe in the Israeli Air Force of the overnight Houthi ballistic missile attack, several different types of interceptor missiles were launched at the target.
The interceptors all failed to knock down the missile, which ultimately struck a park in Tel Aviv, causing damage to nearby homes and wounding 16 people.
The IAF continues to investigate as to why the interception attempts failed.
