Israeli media suggests that an initial attempt to intercept the ballistic missile may have missed its target before it entered Israeli airspace, which could account for the falling shrapnel inside "Israel".

An IOF spokesperson reported that a ballistic missile triggered sirens across central "Israel" a short time earlier.

Simultaneously, the Israeli military stated that the ballistic missile fired at "Israel" this morning, which triggered sirens throughout central "Israel", was launched from Yemen.

The Israeli military added that the missile landed in an open area after sirens were activated from Tel Aviv to Modi’in. The military also noted that it is investigating the attempts to intercept the missile.

It is worth noting that preliminary reports indicated that the missile may have targeted an electricity facility in southeastern Tel Aviv.

Reports suggest that an initial attempt to intercept the missile may have missed its target before it entered Israeli airspace, which could account for the falling shrapnel inside "Israel".

Footage reveals damage from missile attack and interception attempt

Israeli Channel 14 military and political correspondent Hallel Bitton Rosen reported that the security system tracked the missile for several minutes and deployed the Arrow missile system in an attempt to intercept it.

Rosen noted, "It is unclear why interception attempts were made over central Israel rather than closer to the border; the outcomes of these efforts are still under investigation."

Concurrently, Israeli media have released footage showing the missile landing in occupied Palestinian territories after the anti-air systems failed to intercept it.

In further detail, Israeli media reported that the missile landed in an open area along Route 1, which connects Tel Aviv and al-Quds, near the settlement of Kfar Daniel. 

Israeli media reported damage from missile shrapnel at the Paatei Modi'in train station. One image reveals significant damage to an escalator at the station, located on the outskirts of Modi’in, about 25 kilometers (18 miles) east of Tel Aviv. Meanwhile, Israeli police are actively searching for shrapnel in an area east of Tel Aviv.

"Israel's" Magen David Adom ambulance service reported nine injuries sustained during the rush to secure shelter.

In a related context, Israeli media confirmed that the 2,365,000 settlers fled to shelters this morning as a result of the missile. Simultaneously, Israeli officials have cautioned that "the situation is not over; Yemen has promised further surprises, not just one."

In a congratulatory message on the occasion of Prophet Mohammed's (PBUH) birth anniversary, Defense Minister Major General Mohammed Nasser Al-Atifi and Major General Mohammed Al-Ghamari emphasized that "the enemies have tasted defeat at sea," and what happened at sea "is not far from what will happen on land."

The two generals vowed to turn Yemen's response to the Israeli occupation's crime of targeting the port of Hodeidah into a "nightmare for the enemies" that threatens their security, describing their message as a warning to "Israel," stating, "the coming days hold surprises [the enemy] will not expect" and "could [have] never imagined".

They reaffirmed that Yemen's armed forces, with all their divisions and formations, will remain ready "to protect our homeland and sacred sites."

The generals reiterated that Yemen "will respond with an iron fist," and will neither forgive nor forget, ensuring that the "enemy will regret the day it attacked us."
