Sirens wailed in Tel Aviv early on Thursday as a missile fired from Yemen caused severe damage in the Zionist entity’s center, forcing nearly one million settlers to go to shelters.

Israeli occupation army claimed the missile was intercepted, confirming that sirens were heard.

“Rocket and missile sirens were sounded following the possibility of falling debris from the interception,” the Israeli military said.

Sirens sounded near Tel Aviv and the surrounding areas, and a large explosion was heard overhead at the time.

“A missile launched from Yemen set off the warning sirens across central Israel,” Israeli media quoted the occupation military as saying, adding that major booms could be heard as far away as Al-Quds (Jerusalem) earlier.

Debris from the interception of the missile damaged a number of parked cars in the central city of Ramat Gan, according to video from the scene.

Shrapnel also struck a school in the same neighborhood, with Magen David Adom medics reporting damage, Israeli media reported.

Yemeni Armed Forces Spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree said to announce a statement in the coming hours.
