**Tel Aviv, Israel (December 21, 2024)** – A missile launched from Yemen struck the Tel Aviv-Jaffa area early Saturday morning, injuring 14 people with minor shrapnel wounds, according to Israeli emergency services. The Israeli military confirmed the missile strike, stating that their defense systems failed to intercept the projectile.
The incident follows Israeli airstrikes on Thursday targeting Houthi-controlled ports and energy infrastructure in Yemen. Israel issued a warning to the Houthi rebels, pledging further action if attacks against Israel continue. The Iran-backed Houthi group has claimed responsibility for previous missile and drone attacks on Israel, framing them as acts of solidarity with Palestinians. The injured were treated for minor injuries, with some transported to hospitals. The Israeli police responded to multiple reports of the missile’s impact in the Tel Aviv area.
