Injuries, Damage as ‘Israel’ Fails to Intercept Yemeni Hypersonic Ballistic Missile

At least 16 Israelis were wounded as the Yemeni missile impacted in Tel Aviv, Israeli media reported.

Israeli occupation military said the missile landed in Tel Aviv’s southern Jaffa area, adding that attempts to intercept a missile from Yemen failed shortly after sirens sounded in the area.

“Attempted interceptions did not succeed,” The Times of Israeli cited the Israeli military, adding that the occupation military were looking into details of the event.

Videos on social media showed the moment of impact and the failed interceptions, with the sound of sirens being heard.

Heavy damage was reported near the site where the missile impacted in Tel Aviv, with videos circulating on social media showing exploded windows and debris in several surrounding apartments.

Yemeni Armed Forces claimed responsibility for the missile launch, stressing it was in support of the Palestinian people and in response to the Israeli massacres in Gaza.

“The missile force of the Yemeni Armed Forces, hit a military target of the Israeli enemy in the occupied area of Jaffa with a hypersonic ballistic missile Palestine-2,” Spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced in a statement.

For his part, Ansarullah official Mohammad Ali Al-Houthi said Israeli Arrow (Hetz) air defense system doesn’t provide security for the Zionist entity in face of Palestine-2 Yemeni missiles.

“Our capabilities are developing continuously, while the failure of American, European and Israeli defense systems continues.”

The Yemeni Armed Forces have been intensifying attacks against the Zionist entity in the past days, with a missile attack near Tel Aviv in Ramat Gan on Thursday, and drone strikes on several Israeli targets on Friday.
