– Sirens Blare Overnight As Yemeni Houthis Target Tel Aviv With Ballistic Missile:
Update(2158ET): Yemen’s Houthis have escalated their action against Israel, in the overnight hours launching at least one ballistic missile which came near Israel. Unconfirmed reports say the missile targeted Tel Aviv. Some independent journalists are claiming some projectiles hit Israel.
Israel’s military has said it intercepted a missile fired from Yemen, and explosions were widely heard in the early night hours of Friday (local). “Following the sirens that sounded in central Israel, the surface-to-surface missile that was launched from Yemen was intercepted by an ‘Arrow’ interceptor outside of Israeli territory,” the army said in a statement. “There is currently no change to the IDF Defensive guidelines,” it added.
At the same time, over the last day Israeli sources have said rockets fired from Hezbollah positions in Lebanon have targeted central Israel, a clear sign that Hezbollah is intent on reaching targets much deeper into the country.
