Last night the Houthis launched a missile toward Israel and it partly made it through their Arrow defenses and detonated when hitting a school in Ramat Gan, which is outside Tel Aviv.

According to Open Source Intel this is the damage from the missile:

OSI also writes “An initial Israeli Air Force investigation reveals that the Arrow air defense system only partially intercepted the Houthi missile launched from Yemen overnight. The missile’s warhead remained intact, crashing into a school in Ramat Gan and detonating upon impact, causing the building to collapse.”

Israel was already in progress of launching a wave of airstrikes in Yemen and reportedly targeted power plants in the city of Sanaa.

Here’s video of the attacks:

 
Here’s more on the attack via the Times of Israel, which they say were pre-planned and already in progress when the Houthis launched their missile attack:

The Israeli military carried out a series of intense airstrikes that shook Yemen’s rebel-held capital and a port city early Thursday, in a preplanned operation that coincided with the Houthis firing a missile at central Israel.

No one was injured by the ballistic missile, which the Israel Defense Forces said was partially intercepted outside Israeli airspace by the long-range Arrow air defense system. However, the warhead didn’t explode in the air and crashed into an empty school building in the city of Ramat Gan, with nobody hurt. It was the second missile from Yemen fired this week, along with a drone attack.

According to a statement by the Israel Defense Force, dozens of Israeli Air Force (IAF) aircraft participated in the strikes in Yemen, including fighter jets, refuelers and spy planes, some 2,000 kilometers from Israel. The Houthi targets were struck at the Hodeida port — which Israel has struck twice before — and for the first time, in the rebel-held capital Sana’a, the IDF said.

The IAF had been preparing for the strike for several weeks, military sources said, and the planes were already on their way to Yemen when the Houthis launched a missile at Israel.

The projectile set off sirens in central Israel communities due to concerns about falling debris from the interception, and millions of people were forced into bomb shelters due to the attack, the IDF said.

Israeli military sources said the strikes in Yemen were aimed at paralyzing all three ports used by the Iran-backed Houthis on the coast of the country.

All of the tugboats used to bring ships into ports were struck in the Israeli attack, as were power stations.

In Israel’s previous attack on the Hodeida port, the cranes used to unload shipments were struck.

Israel now believes that all activity at the ports controlled by the Houthis is paralyzed, sources said.

Shortly after the Houthi missile fire, the rebel group’s satellite channel al-Masirah reported strikes in Sana’a and the coastal Hodeida province, some of which it said targeted power stations in the capital as well as the Ras Isa oil terminal on the Red Sea.

It said the strikes killed nine people.

The overnight airstrikes marked the first time the IDF has hit targets in Sana’a, and the third time it has struck Yemen in response to Houthi attacks, including a July strike after a Houthi drone killed a civilian in Tel Aviv.

IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari confirmed that among the targets hit in the “precise strikes” were “ports and energy infrastructure,” which he accused the Houthis of harnessing for “their military actions.”

“With their attacks on international shipping vessels and routes in the Red Sea and other places, the Houthis have become a global threat. Who is behind the Houthis? Iran,” he said in an English-language video statement. He vowed the military “will act against anyone in the Middle East” who threatens Israel.

The Houthis claimed they launched two missiles at Israel. I guess only the warhead from one of them didn’t get destroyed and that’s why it impacted the school. The Houthis were aiming for what they called ‘specific and sensitive military targets’ in Tel Aviv.
