A missile launched from Yemen has fallen in an open area in central Israel , the Israeli army confirmed, specifying that "no casualties or injuries were reported." "A surface-to-surface missile has been identified that crossed central Israel from the east and fell in an open area. No casualties were reported. The rocket was launched from Yemen," reads a statement from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), specifying that interceptors were deployed.
On the issue, a message in Hebrew goading Israel was posted on X this morning by Hezam al-Asad, a member of the political bureau of the pro-Iran Yemeni Houthi group: "Whether in your underground shelters or outside, you would do well to listen very carefully this afternoon to what Abdul-Malik al-Houthi (the group's leader) is saying ."
For the first time in months, the alarm raised this morning over the launch of the missile has forced hundreds of thousands of people to take to the streets and run to shelters in all the cities of Central Israel. According to initial analyses, it seems to be an attempt to retaliate for the Israeli attack on the port of Hodeidah, in Yemen, in recent weeks.
The missile was intercepted in the air, some fragments hit the Modin railway station, 25 kilometers from Tel Aviv.
Meanwhile, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly said in a strategic discussion with security officials that Jerusalem's goal is to open a war front with Lebanon as soon as possible , senior Hamas officials told representatives of other Palestinian organizations that they expressed their willingness to postpone Israel's withdrawal from the Philadelphia axis and the Netzarim corridor until the end of the final phase of the truce and hostage release agreement. The proposal, reported by Haaretz, would allow Israel to remain on the Philadelphia route (on the Gaza-Egypt border) and the Netzarim corridor (which bisects Gaza) during the implementation of the different phases of the agreement, provided that a timetable is established for Israel's complete withdrawal from Gaza and the end of the war.
