Intercepted strike comes a day after Israeli attack on Yemen killed six people and wounded dozens, including a UN worker

A missile fired from Yemen hit Tel Aviv overnight into Saturday, Israeli authorities said, in a rare instance of a failed interception over the city.

A missile fired from Yemen by Iran-backed Houthi rebels struck Israel’s commercial hub of Tel Aviv before dawn on Saturday, wounding 16 people in the second such attack within days.

The Israeli military said several people were lightly injured after its air defenses failed to intercept the projectile, which struck a playground in the city.

Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels on Friday claimed to have fired a missile at Israel's Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv. This came after Israel's military reported a missile had been intercepted and a day after Israel struck Sanaa's international airport and other locations in Houthi-held areas of Yemen.
