The Israeli military confirmed early Saturday that it failed to intercept a missile launched from Yemen, which landed in the Tel Aviv-Jaffa area. According to the ambulance service, 14 individuals sustained minor shrapnel injuries, with some requiring hospitalization for treatment.

The Israeli police reported receiving notifications about the missile's impact in a town within the Tel Aviv vicinity. This incident continues the escalating tensions as the Iran-backed Houthi group in Yemen has been launching drones and missiles towards Israel in response to Israel's relentless aggression on the Gaza Strip.

In response to ongoing threats, Israel conducted airstrikes on Thursday targeting ports and energy infrastructure in Houthi-controlled regions of Yemen, warning of potential further military actions against the group.
