Iran Press/West Asia: The Israeli military has confirmed that “unsuccessful interception attempts were made” by the Iron Dome defense system to destroy the missile before it struck.
Israel’s Magen David Adom ambulance service now reports that at least 16 people have been lightly injured by the missile strike in the Tel Aviv area, mostly as a result of broken glass.
The successful missile strike on the Tel Aviv area demonstrates the limits of the Israeli military’s billion-dollar aerial defense systems, a Houthi official has said.
In a series of posts in both Arabic and Hebrew, Houthi Hezam al-Asad, a member of the Houthi Supreme Political Council in Yemen, appeared to taunt the Israeli military, saying, “The failure of all Israeli defence systems means that the heart of the Zionist enemy is no longer secure”.
Al-Asad also said the Israeli interceptor missiles that were supposed to stop the attack failed and caused more damage.
“There is no longer any use for interception systems that cost billions of dollars,” he said.
