The Israeli Defense Forces said it failed to intercept the strike, which fell in the town of Bnei Brak in Tel Aviv.
Israel says a missile launched by Yemen fell in the town of Bnei Brak in the Tel Aviv area and injured at least 14 people.
Israel's ambulance service said in a statement that its paramedics were treating patients with minor shrapnel injuries on Saturday, local time, with some taken to hospital. Israeli emergency services officers were rushed to inspect the scene of a missile strike near Tel Aviv, which Israel says was launched from Yemen.Yahya Saree, a spokesman for the Houthis, said the group had fired ballistic missiles at "two specific and sensitive military targets … in the occupied Yaffa area", referring to the Jaffa region near Tel Aviv.
The strikes follow a drone attack claimed by the Houthis, which exploded on December 9 on the top floor of a residential building in the central Israeli city of Yavne. No-one was killed in that strike. Nasfat al-Khafash, the head of the council in Marda where the attack occurred, said a group of settlers arrived early in the morning, setting the mosque alight and scrawling hateful messages on it.
