Iranian, Houthi Missiles Land in Israel

Incoming missile sirens sounded Thursday evening in central and southern Israel following barrages from Iran and Yemen in less than two hours, Israeli media reported.

Army Radio said missile fragments fell near Tel Aviv after a new wave of Iranian missiles targeted the area.

The daily Yedioth Ahronoth said one of the missiles made a direct impact in the city of Petah Tikva near Tel Aviv.

Channel 12 said sirens sounded in the Dead Sea in southern Israel after a missile attack from Yemen.

The outlet said a missile fired by the Houthi group was intercepted by air defenses.

No details were given about damage or injuries.

Regional tensions have escalated since the US and Israel launched a joint offensive on Iran on Feb. 28, killing more than 1,340 people to date, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, as well as Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets. Anadolu
