Sirens sounded across several city settlements and Israeli-occupied areas in central Palestine late on Monday, amid a Yemeni missile attack.
At 11:11 am (local time) sirens went off in Tel Aviv, Rehovot, Rishon LeZion, Holon, Bat Yam, occupied al-Ramleh, the suburb of Petach Tikva, occupied Isdud, and Beit Shemesh, among other areas. Meanwhile, air traffic was halted at the Ben Gurion Airport. Shrapnel resulting from the missile attack also fell in the Beit Shemesh area, while Israeli media outlets reported that a large fragment fell in Ramat, near Tel Aviv.
Other Israeli media outlets criticized the Israeli occupation forces' spokesperson, saying that when the spokesperson "says the missile was intercepted outside Israel's borders, he is either lying or distorting the truth."
It is worth noting that the Yemeni missile attack was launched following an American-British assault on the country. Strikes targeted the al-Tuhayta district, south of the port city of Hodeidah.
Israeli correspondent on Arab Affairs for the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation (KAN) Roi Kais said that the ballistic missiles were launched from an area south of Hodeidah, which is the same area reported to have been attacked by the United States hours earlier.
