14 Injured in Israel after projectile from Yemen struck into Tel Aviv: officials

A projectile launched from Yemen into Israel overnight on Saturday struck Tel Aviv, causing mild injuries to 14 individuals, as confirmed by Israeli officials. The incident occurred when sirens went off in central Israel, and the projectile landed in the southern Jaffa area of Tel Aviv after unsuccessful interception attempts were made by the Israeli military.

This attack is part of a series of missile strikes carried out by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen against Israel since the conflict in Gaza began last year. While Israel has retaliated by targeting multiple sites in Yemen controlled by the Houthis, this particular incident marks a rare instance where the interception was unsuccessful.

In response to the attack, Israeli emergency services swiftly responded to the scene of the missile strike in Jaffa. The Israeli military has been on high alert following these recent missile attacks, which have posed a threat to the safety and security of Israeli citizens.

Just a few days prior, the Israeli military intercepted another missile launched from Yemen, resulting in shrapnel causing significant damage to a school near Tel Aviv. These ongoing attacks have heightened tensions in the region and raised concerns about the escalation of violence between Israel and the Houthi rebels.

As the situation continues to unfold, Israeli authorities are closely monitoring the developments and taking necessary measures to ensure the safety of the population. The international community has also been urged to intervene and help de-escalate the conflict between Israel and the Houthi rebels in Yemen.
