Local sources indicate that the Israeli military has initiated an investigation to ascertain why their defenses failed to intercept the incoming missile from Yemen.
Israeli emergency services reported that 30 individuals in Tel Aviv were treated for injuries resulting from the strike.
Air raid sirens sounded across Tel Aviv (Yaffa) and the surrounding areas of occupied Jerusalem as the missile approached, highlighting the urgency and the failure to prevent the impact. The Israeli military confirmed that their attempts to intercept the missile were unsuccessful, acknowledging that a projectile was detected and fell in Tel Aviv.
Earlier, Yahya Saree, the spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, claimed responsibility for the attack, specifying that the missile, known as 'Palestine-2' hypersonic ballistic missile, was aimed at a military target in the occupied Yaffa region.
This incident marks a significant escalation and exposes potential vulnerabilities in Israel's defense infrastructure, prompting increased scrutiny and security concerns. (ILKHA)
