At the beginning of the week, Hezbollah's first targeting of Tel Aviv with a ballistic missile shook Israel. As dawn broke in the capital and its surroundings, sirens were heard once again in the early hours of Friday. Around 00:40 local time, as the sirens sounded, residents of Tel Aviv threw themselves to the ground, with some waiting in fear on the sidewalks. The sound of air raid sirens was not limited to Tel Aviv; the entire central region of Israel rushed to shelters in fear. THE ENTIRE REGION TURNED BRIGHT REDThe published map showed that the entire area from Israel's capital to the West Bank was bright red. The location from which the ballistic missile that shook Israel was fired was not Lebanon. On September 15, the Yemeni Houthis, who carried out a similar attack, once again launched a missile at Tel Aviv from 2,000 kilometers away. The Houthis will make a statement today regarding the missile that passed through the airspace of Saudi Arabia and Jordan to reach Israel. "STOPPED BY BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEMS"The Israeli army announced that the ground-to-ground ballistic missile was intercepted by the Arrow 3 air defense systems, stating that the sirens were activated due to the danger of shrapnel falling. Israeli media reported that a traffic accident occurred during the panic, injuring one person. The Houthis, who have previously targeted Eilat, the southernmost city of Israel, are attempting to hit Tel Aviv with a missile for the second time. In the middle of summer, a kamikaze armed drone sent by the Houthis bypassed Israeli air defense systems and crashed into a building in Tel Aviv, killing one person. THEY BOMBARDED HUDAYDAHIsraeli jets took off for retaliation and bombarded Hudaydah, Yemen's largest port on the Red Sea. The Houthis, who control western Yemen including the capital Sana, are demanding that the Israeli occupation army withdraw from the Gaza Strip and have been carrying out attacks on ships passing through the Red Sea since mid-November. The Iran-backed group sank two ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, and struck dozens with missiles or kamikaze drones.
