Yemen's Houthis claimed responsibility for a ballistic missile attack that reached central Israel for the first time on Sunday.
“It forced more than two million Zionists to run to shelters for the first time in the enemy’s history,” the military spokesperson for the Houthis said in a statement.
Air raid sirens had sounded in Tel Aviv and across central Israel moments before the missile landed at around 6:35 a.m. local time , sending residents running for shelter. Loud booms were heard, which the military said came from missile interceptors. The deputy head of the Houthi’s media office, Nasruddin Amer, said in a post on X on Sunday that a Yemeni missile had reached Israel after “20 missiles failed to intercept” it, describing it as the “beginning”.
Reuters saw smoke billowing in an open field in central Israel, though it was not immediately possible to determine if the fire was caused by the missile or interceptor debris.
