BREAKING | Tel Aviv Hit by Houthi's Thulfiqar Ballistic Missiles | Israel's Defense Ministry Hit

In a dramatic escalation of hostilities, Houthi forces launched a precision missile strike on Tel Aviv, targeting Israel’s Ministry of Defense. The attack, carried out using Thulfiqar ballistic missiles, marks a significant intensification in the ongoing conflict. While Israel’s air defense systems intercepted some of the missiles, the strike still caused damage to key infrastructure. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea claimed the missiles hit their target with high accuracy, evading Israeli interception. This attack is seen as part of the Houthis’ ongoing support for Hamas and their solidarity with Palestinian efforts in Gaza. The missile strike follows a series of Houthi drone and missile assaults on Israel, signaling an even more volatile situation in the region. No major casualties were reported, but the strike adds to the growing tensions as Israel prepares for a ceasefire agreement with Hamas. #TelAvivAttack #HouthiMissiles #ThulfiqarMissile #IsraelDefenseMinistry #HouthiStrike #BallisticMissiles #MiddleEastTensions #HamasSupport #PalestinianSolidarity #IsraelAirDefense #GazaConflict #IsraelUnderAttack #HouthiEscalation #DefenseMinistryHit #MiddleEastCrisis

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing intense criticism following the approval of a ceasefire deal with Hamas, which has sparked protests across Jerusalem.
