Woman moderately injured in fall as she sought shelter on highway during Houthi missile attack

Medics say a woman was moderately injured when she fell from a significant height into a ditch at the side of a highway as she sought shelter during a ballistic missile attack from Yemen.

The Iran-backed Houthis fired a ballistic missile earlier today, triggering sirens across central Israel.

The 42-year-old woman was injured on Route 1, the main highway between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

She was taken to a hospital in Tel Aviv with injuries to her limbs and back, the Magen David Adom emergency service says.
