Surface-to-Surface Missile from Yemen Hits Central Israel

A surface-to-surface missile fired from Yemen hit central Israel but caused no injuries, according to the Israeli military. Air raid sirens sounded across Tel Aviv moments before the missile landed in an unpopulated area. The military reported loud booms from missile interceptors and reassured that their protective guidelines remain unchanged.

A surface-to-surface missile fired at central Israel from Yemen struck an unpopulated area, causing no injuries, Israel's military said on Sunday.

Earlier, air raid sirens had sounded in Tel Aviv and across central Israel, prompting residents to seek shelter. 'Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in central Israel, a surface-to-surface missile was identified crossing into central Israel from the east and fell in an open area. No injuries were reported,' the military confirmed.

Loud explosions were also heard in the area, attributed to missile interceptors launched by the military. The military added that there are no changes to its protective guidelines for Israel's residents. Last July, Iran-aligned Houthis in Yemen had fired a long-range drone at Tel Aviv, causing casualties and prompting retaliatory airstrikes by Israel on Houthi targets.
