Yemen’s Houthi group fired a hypersonic missile at Israel’s Jaffa area on Saturday. Houthi spokesperson Yahya Sarea claimed it “achieved its objectives,” prompting residents to flee to shelters, Xinhua reported.
The Israel Defense Forces intercepted the missile, and authorities reported no casualties. Air raid sirens alerted millions across central Israel, including Tel Aviv.
Sarea vowed continued strikes in support of Palestinians in Gaza and condemned Israeli attacks on Yemen, which recently killed at least 46 civilians and injured 165 in Sanaa and al-Jawf.
