A projectile fired from Yemen struck Israel’s commercial hub of Tel Aviv, wounding 16 people, the military and emergency service providers said, according to AFP.
Israel’s military said it had failed to intercept the projectile, which struck a district of Tel Aviv municipality, forcing many residents to leave their homes.
Yemen’s Houthi later claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it used a ballistic missile and was directed at “a military target of the Israeli enemy”.
