For the first time, Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen struck central Israel with a hypersonic ballistic missile, traveling 2,040 km in 11.5 minutes. Air raid sirens echoed in Tel Aviv as residents scrambled for shelter. Israel initially reported the missile fragmented in mid-air, with debris landing in open areas. No injuries were reported. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised a "heavy price" for the attack, referencing past Israeli strikes on Yemen. The Houthis claim the missile launch is in solidarity with Palestinians. Israel also faced projectile fire from Lebanon, with no casualties reported.
