A missile launched from Yemen extensively damaged a building in central occupied Palestine, early on Thursday.
According to the Israeli military command the missile was successfully intercepted before entering Israeli-controlled airspace, however, Israeli media reported extensive damages to buildings near Tel Aviv.
Sirens sounded at around 2:37 am (local time) across Tel Aviv and encompassed several other city settlements in the Gush Dan area. Shrapnel resulting from the interception attempts of the missile impacted the Ramat Gan city settlement, just east of the Tel Aviv municipality.
Footage of the incident circulating on social media showed an impact site in central occupied territories, while other videos captured the rapid descent of a projectile toward a target in Tel Aviv.

Israeli Air Force launches aggression on Yemen
Soon after, Israeli warplanes launched an aggression on Yemen, Israeli media reported.
Local sources told Al Mayadeen that three strikes conducted by the Israeli Air Force targeted two power stations to the north and the south of Yemen's capital Sanaa.
Six strikes also targeted the Hodeidah Port and the Ras Issa energy facilities in western Yemen. Several workers were killed and injured in the strikes on the energy facilities.
Later, the Israeli regime announced its responsibility for the attacks near the Yemeni capital and al-Hodeidah. Meanwhile, the United States said that it was not involved in the attacks. Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that nine people were martyred in the attacks on Yemen's coast.
It is worth noting that the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) have launched a military and naval campaign in support of Palestine, targeting Israeli seaborne interests, as well as sites in occupied territories, until the regime halts its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
Member of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement's political bureau Mohammad al-Bukhaiti said that Israeli and American attacks that target civilian infrastructure in Yemen underline the "hypocrisy of the West."
He stressed that Yemeni operations will continue to target Israeli assets until the war on Gaza is stopped and the siege on the Palestinian people is lifted.
