The Israeli Defense Forces said there were repeated attempts to shoot down the missile mid-air, but it most likely fragmented as it approached Tel Aviv. Israel said there were no direct casualties from the missile, but at least nine people suffered minor injuries.
Netanyahu said the Houthis would pay a “heavy price” for the attack.
This is just the latest attack by the Houthis, in what they say is solidarity with the Palestinians, in support of Hamas.
