The Israeli Air Force, on early morning Thursday, conducted waves of retaliatory strikes on terrorist targets across Yemen after Houthis fired another ballistic missile at Israel within a span of days.

On Wednesday night, the Yemen-based Islamic terrorist group fired a ballistic missile towards central Israel. Israeli air defense systems “intercepted one missile that was launched from Yemen, before crossing into Israeli territory,” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Wednesday night. “Rocket and missile sirens were sounded following the possibility of falling debris from the interception.” On Monday, the Iran-backed jihadist group had fired a similar missile which was also intercepted by the IDF over central Israel.

The fragments of the Houthi missile landed on a school near Tel Aviv. “Sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and other cities in central Israel on Wednesday night, after the Houthis launched a ballistic missile towards the area,” the Israeli broadcaster Arutz Sheva reported Thursday morning. “Residents of the area reported hearing explosions, and interceptor fragments fell in a school in the Ramat Gan neighborhood of Ramat Ef’al, causing severe damage to both the building and vehicles.”

A missile from Yemen toward Israel at 3am was intercepted, with debris landing on a school in central Israel. Millions rushed to shelters overnight.

Thankfully, Israel invests in protecting its civilians and not using them as human shields. pic.twitter.com/8SIFkMsu0X
