A hypersonic ballistic missile launched by Yemen's Houthi rebels struck central Israel on Sunday, prompting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to vow a 'heavy price' for the attack. The missile, which traveled approximately 1,270 miles and fragmented mid-air, caused no direct casualties but lightly injured nine people who sought cover. The missile's impact in central Israel marks an escalation, as previous Houthi attacks had not penetrated this far. In retaliation, Israel struck Houthi positions in Yemen, continuing the cycle of violence. Additionally, about 40 projectiles were fired from Lebanon into northern Israel, further heightening tensions. Netanyahu emphasized that Israel is engaged in a 'multi-arena campaign' against Iran’s axis of terror, including the Houthis, Hezbollah, and Hamas.
