A woman whose home was hit by a large chunk of debris from an overnight Houthi missile says she only noticed the damage when she went out for a walk.

Michal Wexler, a resident of Mevo Beitar near Jerusalem, tells Ynet that while she and her family were woken by the sirens at around 3 a.m., they did not hear anything to suggest part of the missile had hit their home.

“When we went out for our usual morning walk we saw broken tiles. Only when we looked up did we see a missile on our roof,” she says, adding that the family is uninjured.

“It’s not the smallest part, but we did not hear anything really unusual in the night,” she says, adding that the local security officer had confirmed to her that the large cylinder perched on her home was part of the Houthi ballistic missile.

The military said it had tried to intercept it, but did not give further details.
