00:00Nine persons have been confirmed to have sustained injuries from debris of mass destruction weapon
00:05when Yemeni Houthi group fired a new hypersonic ballistic missile into Tel Aviv, Israel on
00:11Sunday morning.
00:13The long-range missile was said to have been fired from 2,040 kilometers in Yemen and the
00:19automatic control bomb arrived Israel in less than 13 minutes.
00:24The Israel military earlier on Sunday said that a long-range ballistic missile fired
00:29from Yemen hit central Israel, setting off air red sirens.
00:34We gathered that the missile triggered air red sirens in Tel Aviv and across central
00:38Israel, including the Ben Gurion International Airport, sending residents running for shelter.
00:46There were no reports of casualties or damage, and the airport authority said normal operations
00:51resumed shortly after the missile set fire in some locations in Israel.
00:57Responders couldn't be seen on Sunday in the videos posted online putting out a fire
01:02in Kfar Daniyal, near Tel Aviv, in central Israel after the missile shot from Yemen.
01:08Magian David Adam, Israel's emergency services, said in a post on X that nine people had suffered
01:15minor injuries at the sought shelter.
01:18A Yemeni missile reached Israel after 20 missiles failed to intercept it.
01:24Last Friday, Nasrohim Ema, a Houthi media official, posted on X.
01:30The group's military spokesperson, Yahya Sari, announced that it had targeted a military
01:36position of the Israeli enemy in the Jaffa area with a neo-hypersonic ballistic missile
01:43that had managed to evade Israel's air defense systems.
01:47Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the start of a cabinet meeting on
01:52Sunday that the Houthis should have known by now that we charge a heavy price for any
01:57attempt to harm us, according to a statement from the Israeli prime minister's office.
02:02Benjamin Netanyahu, in quotes, said, We are in a multi-front campaign against Iran's axis
02:09of evil, which is striving for our destruction.
02:13This morning, the Houthis launched a surface-to-surface missile from Yemen at our territory.
02:19They should know that we exact a high price for any attempt to attack us.
02:25Whoever needs a reminder of this is invited to visit the port of Hodeidah.
02:30Whoever attacks us will not avert our strike.
02:33Hamas is already learning this through our determined action, which will bring about
02:38its destruction and the release of all of our hostages.
02:42I have visited the north.
02:44I am attentive to the residents of the north.
02:47I speak with them and with the heads of local authorities in the north.
02:51I see their distress.
02:53I hear their anguish.
02:55The current situation will not continue.
02:58This requires a change in the balance of forces on our northern border.
03:03We will do whatever is necessary to return our residents securely to their homes.
03:08I am committed to this.
03:10The government is committed to this and we will not suffice with less than this.
03:15We will do this thanks to the heroism of our fighters and the unity among us.
03:20As a united people rising up against our enemies in order to ensure our future, Benjamin Netanyahu
03:26stated.
03:27Yemen's Houthi group spoke sparsely.
03:30Yahya Sari said the group struck a military target in Jaffa with a new hypersonic ballistic
03:35missile that traveled 2040 kilometers, 1270 miles, in just 11 and a half minutes.
03:43We learned that the Hatil-2 ballistic missile, developed by the Yemeni Military Manufacturing
03:48Authority, features an intelligent control system, hypersonic speed, and high maneuverability.
03:56It uses solid fuel and has several generations, each with varying ranges.
04:02The group claimed that the ballistic missile evaded Israeli defense systems which included
04:06the fighter jets, jamming systems, and mobile airspace of allies KSA and Jordan.
04:13Some media reported that Israeli ground defenses fired several interceptor missiles, none of
04:19which succeeded in shooting it down, adding over 2 million Israelis took refuge in shelters
04:26at the time of the attack.
04:28The missile penetrated Israel's multi-layered air defense system, including the Aru, David
04:34Sling, Iron Dome, aircraft, and jamming systems.
04:39Verbatim of Yemen's Armed Forces, Houthis, spokesman's statement released on Sunday reads
04:45below.
04:46The missile force of the Yemeni Armed Forces, with the help of Allah Almighty, carried out
04:52a qualitative military operation targeting an Israeli enemy military objective in the
04:58area of Jaffa in occupied Palestine.
05:01The operation was executed with a new hypersonic ballistic missile, which, by the grace of
05:07Allah, successfully reached its target.
05:11The enemy's defenses failed to intercept and counter it.
05:15The missile traveled a distance of approximately 2,040 kilometers in 11 and a half minutes,
05:22causing fear and panic among the Zionists, with more than 2 million Zionists rushing
05:27to shelters for the first time in the history of the Israeli enemy.
05:32This operation is part of the fifth phase and is the culmination of the efforts of the
05:36heroic missile forces, who made tremendous efforts in developing missile technology to
05:42meet the requirements and challenges of the battle against the Zionist enemy, and successfully
05:47reached its target and overcoming all obstacles, including American and Israeli interception
05:52systems on land and sea, as well as other systems.
05:57The obstacles of geography, the American-British aggression, and the surveillance, espionage,
06:04and defense systems will not prevent the Yemen from fulfilling its religious, moral, and
06:10humanitarian duty in supporting the Palestinian people.
06:14The Israeli enemy should expect more strikes and special operations in the future, as we
06:20approach the first anniversary of the blizzard October 7th operation.
06:25These operations include responses to their criminal aggression on the city of Al-Hodeidah,
06:31as well as continued support for the oppressed Palestinian people, Yemen Houthi spokesperson
06:37Yahya Sari stated.
06:39Palestinian fighters, Hamas shortly after the attack, released a statement, commending
06:45the Yemen Houthis for what they described as a missile strike against the aggression
06:50of Israel.
06:51In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, we, in the Islamic Resistance
06:58Movement, Hamas commend the missile strike carried out by the Yemeni armed forces and
07:03our brothers in Ansar al-Adin into the Zionist entity.
07:08We consider it a natural response to the aggression of the Zionist entity against our Palestinian
07:13people, as well as against Yemen and the Arab region.
07:18We are found that the Zionist enemy will not enjoy security as long as its brutal aggression
07:23continues against our people in the Gaza Strip.
07:27The actions of the resistance fronts in Yemen, Lebanon, and Iraq, in continuing their support
07:34and direct confrontation with the Zionist enemy, are the legitimate right of our nation's
07:39resistance and its peoples.
07:42These actions confirm the unity of our nation and its shared destiny in facing the Zionist
07:47project and its colonial hegemony in Palestine and the Arab region.
07:52We renew our call to all forces, free peoples, and living consciences in our nation and the
07:58world to continue their support and backing for our people and their brilliant resistance
08:03until the aggression and the war of extermination in Gaza ceases, and the aspirations of our
08:09people are realized in reclaiming their national rights, liberating their land and holy sites,
08:14and establishing their Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, Hamas stated.
08:20The Houthi group, also known as Ansar Allah, supporters of God, controls most parts of
08:26Yemen, including the capital, Sanaa.
08:30It has been attacking Israeli-linked ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, the Bab
08:36al-Mandeb Strait, since November in what it says is a campaign of solidarity with Palestinians
08:42and against Israel's continuing war on Gaza.
