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

TEL AVIV - Israel is preparing for a new front against the Houthis in Yemen, another chapter in a war that continues to expand beyond Israel’s physical borders, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying Thursday that the fight against the Iran-backed militant group “is only getting started.”

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.

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.

A Palestinian man carried out a stabbing operation in Herzliya, near Tel Aviv, on Friday, resulting in the death of an Israeli.

Sirens were heard in the Tel Aviv area in the early hours of Friday (December 27) morning following a missile launched from Yemen, the Israeli military reported, hours after Israel struck multiple targets linked to the Houthi movement on Thursday (December 26).
