The Houthis claimed responsibility for the strike in the Jaffa area and celebrated the Israel Defense Forces’ failed attempt to intercept the missile.

CAIRO (Reuters) - The Israeli military said on Saturday that attempts to intercept a missile from Yemen failed shortly after sirens sounded in central Israel, adding that a fallen projectile was identified in the area.
