Houthis claim explosions shock Tel Aviv due to missile launch from Yemen
[HodhodYemenNews] Explosions were heard in Tel Aviv, Quds (Jerusalem), and the coastal area south of Tel Aviv as a result of a missile launched from Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
, Hebrew media reported on Monday.

Media outlets stated that sirens continued to sound in several areas of central "Israel" while acknowledging that debris from an attempted missile interception fell in the central region.

The view from Israel:
IDF downs Houthi ballistic missile; debris from interception lands in Beit Shemesh

[IsraelTimes] No injuries or damage caused by missile attack, which set off sirens across central Israel; Iran-backed Yemeni group has now targeted Israel six times in the past week

Sirens sounded across central Israel on Monday afternoon as the Iran-backed Houthis launched a ballistic missile from Yemen, which the IDF said it shot down before it crossed into Israeli territory.

Several pieces of shrapnel from the missile continued to fall after the missile was intercepted, reaching Israel and landing in the city of Beit Shemesh outside Jerusalem.

No injuries or major damage were reported as a result of the projectiles’ impact, according to rescue authorities.

Sirens went off in Tel Aviv, Rishon Lezion, Rehovot and the outskirts of Jerusalem at around 8 p.m.

The Houthis later issued a statement claiming responsibility for the missile launch, which like other recent attacks it claimed targeted Ben Gurion Airport.
No doubt it was, even if the last one actually hit Saudi Arabia.
The missile launch marks the sixth Houthi attack on Israel in the past week, following the IDF’s renewed offensive against Hamas in Gaza last Tuesday.

The missiles have all been intercepted by Israeli air defenses or fallen short of reaching Israel, but have nevertheless sent much of the country scrambling to shelters.

#1 "Houthis claim..." So, nothing there. The new Baghdad Bob pronouncement, without any there there. Houthis are a stain upon humanity. Turn them into glass.
