Military says it failed to intercept a missile that fell in the Tel Aviv-Jaffa area
The Israeli military said it failed to intercept a missile from Yemen early on Saturday that fell in the Tel Aviv-Jaffa area, where the ambulance service said 14 people received mild injuries.
Paramedics were treating 14 people with minor shrapnel injuries and some were taken to hospital, the ambulance service said in a statement.
The Israeli police reported receiving reports of a fallen missile in a town in the Tel Aviv area.
The Iran-backed group Houthis in Yemen have repeatedly fired drones and missiles toward Israel in what they describe as acts of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
On Thursday, Israel launched strikes against ports and energy infrastructure in Houthi-held parts of Yemen and threatened more attacks against the Yemeni group.
