The Yemeni armed forces fired a ballistic missile on Friday that hit a military target in the Israeli capital, Tel Aviv, injuring at least 17 people, according to Israeli media.

The spokesman for the Yemeni armed forces, Brigadier General Yahya Sari, confirmed the action. The missile, named Palestine-2, overcame the defenses of the Zionist entity and forced the closure of the international airport Ben Gurion. All take-offs and landings stopped.

On the other hand, it forced thousands of people to hide in air-raid shelters. Images spread through the Lebanese media Al Manar showed settlers running towards these places. According to press reports, loud explosions were heard in Tel Aviv.

At the same time, Houthi rebels launched a drone into a target in the city of Ashkelon. They also claimed an attack on three US warships in the Red Sea, which were aimed at supporting the Zionist entity.
