according to reuters on september 15, the yemeni houthi group attacked central israel with missiles for the first time on the 15th and declared that it would launch more attacks in support of the palestinians.

a military spokesman for the houthis said the group had struck israel with a new type of hypersonic ballistic missile, which flew 2,040 kilometers in 11 and a half minutes. the israeli military said the missile fell in an open area and no one was injured.

reuters reported earlier that air defense sirens sounded in central israel early on the 15th. the military later stated that a ground-to-ground missile fired from yemen towards israel triggered the sirens.

the israeli military said the missile crossed the border into central israel from the east and landed in an open area. there were no immediate reports of casualties.

the report also stated that according to witnesses, thick smoke could be seen in an open area in central israel. however, it is not clear whether the fire was caused by the missile itself or the debris of the interceptor missile launched by the israeli army.

the report mentioned that in july this year, the houthi armed forces launched a long-range drone at tel aviv, killing one person and injuring four people. the attack triggered israel to launch a large-scale airstrike on houthi military targets near the port of hodeidah in yemen, killing three people and injuring 87 people. a houthi official vowed to "fight back in kind" at the time.

"this morning, the houthis launched a surface-to-surface missile from yemen into our territory," netanyahu said at the start of the day's cabinet meeting. "they should know that they will pay a heavy price for any attempt to harm our country."
