Yemen's Houthis claim responsibility for missile attack on central Israel | ABS-CBN News

Yemen's Houthis claimed responsibility for a ballistic missile attack that reached central Israel for the first time on Sunday (September 15). "It forced more than two million Zionists to run to shelters for the first time in the enemy's history," the military spokesperson for the Houthis said in a statement. Air raid sirens had sounded in Tel Aviv and across central Israel moments before the missile landed at around 6:35 a.m. local time (0335 GMT), sending residents running for shelter. Loud booms were heard, which the military said came from missile interceptors. Reuters saw smoke billowing in an open field in central Israel, though it was not immediately possible to determine if the fire was caused by the missile or interceptor debris. Sunday's strike appears to be the first time the Houthis have penetrated deep into Israeli airspace with a missile. The Israeli military also said that 40 projectiles were fired towards Israel from Lebanon on Sunday (September 15) and were either intercepted or landed in open areas. "No injuries were reported," the military said.
