Yemeni sources told Al Mayadeen that Yemen will not limit itself to a single target, reaffirming to "Israel" that Yafa [Tel Aviv] is not secure, urging it to take the threat seriously.
The Israeli narrative regarding Yemeni military operations should not be trusted, the sources said.
The same sources told Al Mayadeen that Yemen is preparing for an extended war with "Israel" using multifaceted tactics, and is enhancing its strategic military capabilities with this long-term perspective in mind.
The sources emphasized that Tel Aviv cannot predict the timing or location of upcoming operations.
The Yemeni Army is thoroughly analyzing Israeli defense systems, similar to how it previously assessed the defenses of US vessels in the Red Sea, as per the sources, which said that Yemen has reportedly developed new technology, some of which was used in targeting US vessels that failed to intercept missiles.
Al Mayadeen's sources also noted that Yemen previously executed a precise strike with the Yafa drone, which successfully hit its target, revealing that it will now deploy new weapons against a range of strategic objectives.
In a related context, the sources further noted that "Israel" should no longer rely solely on its defense systems, as Yemen promises that future responses will involve precise, well-planned, strategic, and continuous operations, stressing that the Yemeni Army has committed to delivering on its promises and maintaining a high level of operational surprise.
Ballistic missile from Yemen hits central occupied Palestine
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 defense systems 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."
