A missile launched by Yemen's Houthi rebels struck Tel Aviv, Israel's commercial hub, in the early hours of Saturday, December 21, 2024. Key details of the attack include:

• Impact and Casualties
• The missile landed in the southern Jaffa district of Tel Aviv after Israel's interception attempts failed
• 16 people sustained minor injuries from shattered glass and debris
• An additional 14 people were lightly hurt while rushing to shelters

Houthi Claims

• The Houthis claimed responsibility, stating they targeted a military site with a hypersonic ballistic missile named "Palestine 2"
• They asserted the missile accurately hit its target and evaded Israeli defense systems

Israeli Response

• The Israeli military confirmed the unsuccessful interception of the projectile from Yemen
• Air raid sirens sounded in central Israel before the impact

Context

• This attack follows recent Israeli airstrikes on Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen, including Sanaa and Hodeidah
• The Houthis have been launching missiles and drones at Israel since the Gaza conflict began in October 2023

The incident marks a significant escalation in the Houthis' capability to strike deep into Israeli territory, demonstrating the expanding scope of the ongoing Middle East conflict.

The Houthis fired two ballistic missiles at Tel Aviv in the early hours of the morning.

1. The Houthis fired one missile at Tel Aviv, not two:
   • A single "projectile" launched from Yemen landed in Tel Aviv's Jaffa district
2. The number of injured people is lower than stated:
   • 16 people were injured by shattered glass
   • An additional 14 people sustained minor injuries while rushing to shelters
3. The attack occurred in the early hours of the morning, which is accurate:
   • The missile strike happened "overnight" or "before dawn"
4. The Israeli military failed to intercept the missile:
   • Attempts to intercept the projectile were unsuccessful
5. The Houthis claimed responsibility for the attack:
   • They stated they aimed a hypersonic ballistic missile named "Palestine 2" at a military target

In summary, while a Houthi missile did strike Tel Aviv early in the morning, causing injuries, the number of missiles and injured people is lower than stated in the query.

The Israeli military intercepted a missile launched from Yemen towards Israel on December 24, 2024. The incident triggered air-raid sirens across central and southern Israel, including Tel Aviv, just before 2 a.m. local time. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that a projectile from Yemen was intercepted prior to crossing into Israeli territory.

Yemen's Houthi group claimed responsibility for launching what they described as a "hypersonic ballistic missile" at Tel Aviv, targeting a military objective. The Houthis stated this attack was in support of Palestinians in Gaza.

While the missile was successfully intercepted, the sirens caused millions of residents to seek shelter. Magen David Adom, Israel's emergency service, reported that a 60-year-old woman was seriously injured after falling while rushing to a shelter.

This missile attack followed a drone strike by Houthi forces on Israel the previous day, which was also intercepted. The Houthis have been sporadically targeting Israel since October 2023 in support of Palestinians in Gaza.

In response to these attacks, Israel has conducted several large-scale airstrikes on Yemen, with the most recent occurring on December 21, 2024.

Israeli airstrikes have targeted key infrastructure in Yemen, including Sana'a International Airport and facilities in Hodeidah:
Sana'a International Airport

• Israeli warplanes struck the airport's control tower and main runway
• Fires were reported at the airport, with images showing damage and burning aircraft

Hodeidah

• Strikes hit the port of Hodeidah and a power plant in the area
• The Ras Issa oil facility in Hodeidah province was also targeted

These attacks are part of a series of Israeli strikes on Yemen in response to Houthi missile launches towards Israel. The strikes have targeted multiple locations, including:

• Military installations along Yemen's western coast
• Power stations near Sana'a
• Ports of Salif and Ras Kanatib

The Houthi-run Al Masirah TV reported casualties from these attacks, though exact numbers vary between sources

These strikes represent an escalation in the conflict between Israel and the Houthi forces in Yemen, which have been launching attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and firing missiles towards Israel in support of Palestinians in Gaza

Mahdi al-Mashat, the chairman of the Houthi-led Supreme Political Council in Yemen, has issued a strong statement regarding ships passing through the Red Sea. While the exact quote is not found in the search results, the statement aligns with recent Houthi actions and declarations.Key points:

1. The Houthis have been attacking ships in the Red Sea since November 2023, targeting vessels they believe are linked to Israel.
2. They have warned shipowners of a "ban list" for vessels that have docked at or are scheduled to call at Israeli ports.
3. The Humanitarian Operations Coordination Center (HOCC), linked to the Houthis, has been sending email warnings to merchant vessels about these restrictions.
4. The Houthis have carried out nearly 100 attacks on ships crossing the Red Sea since November, acting in solidarity with Palestinians.
5. These actions have caused major disruptions to commercial shipping, with many companies now diverting their vessels around the Cape of Good Hope.

While al-Mashat's exact statement is not provided, it is consistent with the Houthis' recent aggressive stance towards shipping in the Red Sea, particularly targeting vessels they perceive as having connections to Israel.
