The Houthis in Yemen take responsibility for this evening’s ballistic missile launch at Israel.
The Iran-backed terror group claims to have launched the missile at a “vital target” in the Tel Aviv area, and that “the operation achieved its goal successfully.”
According to the military, the missile was intercepted by air defenses, and no damage was caused.
Sirens had sounded in numerous communities in the West Bank, Jordan Valley, Afula area and near Beit Shean — and not in Tel Aviv — amid fears of falling shrapnel.
