The day Yemen's missile struck Tel Aviv

Early morning reports emerged of a Yemeni ballistic missile striking near Tel Aviv, evading Israel's early warning systems. The Houthis later confirmed using a hypersonic missile in their "fifth phase" of escalation against Israel. Palestinian resistance groups praised the attack, with Abu Obeida of Hamas stating it would have significant implications for Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. Israeli sources reported nine injuries. The incident overshadowed other developments, including ongoing Israeli bombardments in Gaza resulting in multiple massacres within 24 hours. The death toll in Gaza surpassed 41,000. Reports surfaced of Israel recruiting African asylum seekers to fight in Gaza in exchange for residency. In the West Bank, settlement expansion threatened Palestinian heritage sites. The Palestinian Authority intensified diplomatic efforts at the UN amid these developments.
