A rocket fired from Yemen hit an area of ​​Tel Aviv overnight, leaving 16 people slightly injured by broken glass, Israel’s military said on Saturday, days after Israeli airstrikes hit Houthi rebels who were firing missiles in solidarity with the Palestinians.

A further 14 people suffered minor injuries as they rushed to shelters when air raid sirens sounded before the rocket landed shortly before 4am on Saturday, the military said.

The Houthi rebels released a statement on the Telegram messaging app saying they had directed a hypersonic ballistic missile at a military target they did not identify.

The attack came less than two days after a series of Israeli airstrikes on the Houthi-held Yemeni capital Sanaa and the port city of Hodeida killed at least nine people. The Israeli strikes were in response to a Houthi attack in which a long-range missile hit an Israeli school building.

The Houthis also claimed to have carried out a drone attack on an unspecified military target in central Israel on Thursday.

Israel’s military says the Iran-backed Houthis have launched more than 200 missiles and drones during Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza. The Houthis are also attacking ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden and say they will not stop until there is a ceasefire in Gaza.

Thursday’s Israeli strikes caused “significant damage” to Houthi-controlled Red Sea ports “which will lead to an immediate and significant reduction in port capacity,” UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said. The port of Hodeidah has been crucial for the delivery of food to Yemen in its decade-long civil war.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said attacks by both sides risk further escalation in the region and undermine UN mediation efforts.
